Default Should I change the color of my wheels???

I am so tired of the black on black look for me already.I am thinking of changing the color of my current wheels or the next set.My car is black on black.What color do you guys think would look good?I would prefer to do something other than silver.I am open to suggestions.I was thinking of a dark gray, almost charcoal??

Gunmetal would probably look sharp. Throw up a pic so we can see what you have so far.

Here a wild idea...
bare with me but why not chrome...
I know some people hate it but I think for a black car, a quality set of high polished or chrome wheels set it off just right... but what do I know I'm chrome bias

I thought of a metallic silver(dark gray) the color of my 06' gsxr 1000.
I want the combo to look nice not sporty.

You've had so many dam blk wheels, your probably just bored of blk all together. If you do decide to change I like the brush finsh. Mayb blk chrome, I saw a set of blk chrome wheels for the 1st time in person this weekend and really loved how that looked.
