Default What color should I powdercoat Forgestar F14s?

Im looking to buy new wheels this upcoming month and considering my budget, I have been greatly considering Forgestar F14. I'm going for a clean and simple look and I think these wheels will achieve that. If i get them, I have the option to powdercoat them whatever color i want. I don't really like the titanium silver Forgestar offers, looks too stock. I'm thinking about nice silvers/bronzes/whites. What do you guys think? Any specific shades of color you think will look good on my car, let me know! Actual pictures of wheel colors on a wheel will greatly help

Here's a picture of my car:


Here's a picture of the F14 if you dont know what it looks like:

Yea I do like gold on black, but i feel like it can be a bit too showy at times. That's why i was leaning more towards bronze over gold. Its more subtle and still looks great. My main concern is what type of silver/bronze/white i would get. I think white is the least likely cause i would hate cleaning it everyday...

I would lean towards blacking out the chrome if you decide on bronze or gold
