I'd go with the light grey, I don't like gunmetal/black or any dark colored rims without a polished lip or something to make them a bit more interesting. to me the gunmetal and black ones just look like the wheels are really dirty.

Dark grey/gunmetal wont look good unless you polish the lip or somthing, because the color is too close of a match with the tires unless you clean your tires everyday and keep them black.

After I photochoped them, I think that dark rims on a dark car don't look good.

I think there is one more option - grey with A LOT of metallic (like pearls).

well i personally say black...

dark grey looks best out of the pictures but.....

your car looks dirty in those picutres. (or the ground is making it look that way) when your car is clean and shiny the shiny black rims will look good.

D, make sure you clear coat them about 4~6 coats of clear that way they wont scrach as easy and they dont flake off.. if you can where ever you get them painted see if you can cook them in the panit booth..
