Default help me decide on wheel color?

hi all, original they were all black. i now want a different look. as they sit right now they are primer gray w/polished lip. so what color do you guys think will look good?
i'm trying to go for a more classy look. i am getting the Auto Couture kit soon so i want it to flow.

Can the be polished? I think the brushed finish is the classiest. Or maybe a matching graphite color?

I'm having the same dillema right now, I really like the way the stock sport design wheels look on the GGP. So i'd like to keep gunmetal, but I really think the brushed look with a polished lip would be sick. Sort of like lexforlife's &swiss wheels. do a search for his name, his wheels are real nice!

I'd do brushed and have them hi-polish out the sides of the spokes. Or even do a nice color match face in gunmetal and have the sides of the spokes hi-poshed for that clean sporty look. Thats the new thing I'm seeing now. I personally really like the look.

Brushed face with chrome lip is the way to go.. Classy, timeless, elegant all in one.. Brushed is the way to go even inside your own home. Kitchen/bath faucets, Stainless steel appliances.. The wave of the future kids
