Default Wheel color, starfire pearl

I have starfire pearl and I am going to powder coat the stock wheels, either gun metal or a highly metallic PC silver.

I am not ready for new wheels yet because my tires are still good so doing the cheaper solution now. I hate the factory grey silver.

Which one do you think is better?

Can't go wrong with dark colors in general. White is one of those colors that pretty much anything matches. But hey, that's just my 2 cents.

For stocks, I'd say the gun metal. Also depends on what else you're modding to colormatch it properly. For some reason, I like powdercoated or matte finishes for rims on the SFP IS.

I am not going for a black wheel look, so probably gun metal in a more graphite shade that can still tell the tire from the wheel.

I don't know where I am going with the other mods yet, probably a more luxary look, either way I will have aftermarket wheels then.
