Default What wheel color should I go with?

I'm getting my is350 18" wheels refinished and wanted some ideas on colors (powdercoat or paint)...what would look good on a garnet pearl sc?



(from left to right - onyx, gunmetal, hyper silver)


these are all options plus whatever else you guys can throw at me




the onyx is HOT

onyx if you are going to powder coat them, gunmeatal if you just want to paint them..hyper silver seems kinda bland..i'm going to do my TT wheels gunmetal on my garnet SC

I was also thinking possibly gloss black with a subtle red flake that matches the car...something you would only see in the sunlight

Holy shikaka those are hot wheels, never seen those before. About the color, the darker the better IMO.
