Default Help choosing new rim color for SGM IS250!!

I picked up a set of 19" Forgestar F14s in piano black from someone local and would like to change the color cause I'm not a fan of gloss black, plus there's a few scratches. I'm contemplating matte black, silver, or strip and polish them. There's also a place locally that does water printing, so I'm also kicking around the idea of having them done in CF. So far matte black is at the top of my list, but I need opinions and open to other color suggestions. I also plan on blacking out all the chrome trim. These will be going on my Smoky Granite Mica IS250. Thanks in advance for any input!

I do like the carbon fiber dipped finish with your SGM paint. I also like pearl white wheels with SGM. It has to be pearl though, regular gloss white just isn't the same!

White and silver both look good on SGM

I would do gunmetal. The flat wheels would look cheap without some shiny lips IMO. Since these are full faced wheels the gunmetal is always nice. And obviously white is not an option for the theme you're going with blacking out the trim. End if the day its up to you!
