Best color to powdercoat 2012 spot rims?

So what you guys think i should go with?

Im between flat black, gunmetal, glossblack... cant decide right now.

Most my other "paint" mods are flat black.

here some pics so u guys can get an idea of current state:

I guess its a vote between the 3. Getting the callipers painted vibrant red as well at same time.

That's not gunmetal. That's black chrome.

Match accents. If you go gunmetal, it won't match anything imo. Red and black is always.

We are on our 3rd G; all have been red with chrome wheels and we get alot of compliments.

Of course, it's essentially my wife's car; I am assuming you are a guy so the black chrome ones might be a little less flashy...

That's the previous version of the 19" coupe rim, I think it's prior to 2012.

I think gloss black will look real good with your current setup, especially the black section on your front bumper.
