Changing wheel color... Need opinions!

Car is in the body shop and I got an offer to get my wheels sprayed any color I wanted. Currently I have them gloss black from plastidip'ing them and then spraying gloss black over that. looks OK from afar, but up close you can tell that its not a clean job. small kicks show the factory silver showing through, and some paint runs by the center caps of the wheels.

The guy at the shop told me he would sand them down and spray them any color I wanted and also put clear over it. Now I just got to pick what color to get them!

Off the top of his head he said he has many different finishes like gloss, semi-gloss, and matte if I wanted to do black.

Please post your opinions! These are for the stock rims on the g coupe! Oh and the car is Obsidian Black with white calipers!

wanted something no one had. honestly, i really love the offset.. ill show you sometime since you live near by!
it came out really clean and looked better imo than yellow calipers i had before. keeping white clean isnt too bad for me since im cleaning the car every third day.. rofl
I have plans to match the interior with white accents too so if hopefully it will flow nicely.. haha
