Brushed rules all...

Seriously, though - with the color of your car (which I love by the way), I think the brushed/machined look with chrome lip is hard to beat. The brushed finish offers a bit of visual 'pop' without the 'bling' of chrome.

A gunmetal/charcoal might be cool, but with your color car they might need to be color-matched or the color won't look right. One other thing to consider; black or dark-colored wheels tend to look smaller in diameter then lighter colors.
