Default Refinishing my Twists - Help me Pick a New Color

I recently purchased a new set of wheels for summer driving so I am going to have my OEM turbo twist wheels refinished. However I am thinking of refinishing them in a different color - just to be a little different. The options I am considering are:

- black centers with silver outer lip
- gunmetal centers with silver outer lip
- turbo s silver

Here are some pics I found - apologize if I violate any copyright laws in posting these.

Black centers with silver lip:


Gunmetal centers on an HRE wheel - clearly not the same as turbo twists, but trying to get a visual:



Turbo S silver:



Regular finish on our wheels for comparison to turbo s wheel:


Opinions?

Thanks

Rob

I like the gummetal, although not the one you show. I think Wheel Enhancement has good photos of gummetal on the twists...will like sweet on the Arctic Silver C4S....

If I ever decide to have my twists refinished, I'll probably go with some sort of dark gray/gunmetal color to set them off from the Polar Silver.

I am planning on the darker silver from the c2s trim with polished lips.

Stahlgrau metalic MAT POR61W or in glasurit: P61W
