Default any suggestions on wheel color for TT wheels?

well i have the oppurtunity to get my tt wheels painted pretty much any color i would like. it would actually be EASIER at this time for me to tell my painter a paint code of a car than anything else. i have a 97 black on black sc300, no kit, lowered on supra tt shocks and s-tech springs. i would like to hear YOUR opinions on what colors you would have your tt wheels painted if this was your car and you were in the same situation. i personally am leaning towards something silver but even then i have so many options for silver. let me hear some opinions!!!

if your leaning away from silver/polished, id go with black or gunmetal. but i personally would go for the chrome/ polished look , those look sweet on a black car.

Polished look really good on black. Otherwise a bronze or gunmetal would look good.

i never gave much thought to bronze, i was thinking of maybe the anthracite that is on the new acura tl's. polished and chrome is out of the question because like i said they are getting painted and i cant think of any car color i would be able to use that would be anything close. i appreciate the feedback so far though.
