Default Stock mps gen 2 wheels painted

Ok guys here's the score, i have a chance to get my STOCK wheels painted any colour i want (within reason), and was looking for feedback on what you think would be good. I have a black gen 2 mps btw.

my ideas are

Metallic black: Would look horn cause the car is all black atm and would just be really colour matched monotone.

Satin black: A bit different, would look ultimate stealth i reckon, just satin can look dull.

Bronze: It works for the sti's right? Something truly unique to MPS's ( i haven't seen one yet with bronze wheels)

White: Ultimate rally car wanna be colour, but i don't know how the shape of the rims would work with this.

And finally

Gunmetal grey: i don't know how this will go on a black car, can't see it working but meh

P.S. if someone is decent with photoshop give these options a go?

Bronze would be interesting to see. Gunmetal grey should look good. Satin black probably the safest option. Metallic is probably not enough of a contrast to the body colour? Don't think white would work.

haha funnily enough MPSmatt i like that orange if it was slightly darker, that would be the sorta bronze i would like!!

But it looks like everyone is unanimous with gunmetal grey....so i am going to go metallic black!! haha it is only costing me 120, so if i don't like it i will change again!!

Do them white ! ! ! Do a glossy white, thats is more showspec style, dont do them black or gunetal grey, cause thats what everyone does and black on black doesnt look good unless you have a chrome lip or a dish. Black, gunmetal grey wheels dont look as big as they are too.

White is the way

I have ruled out white = WAAY too hard to keep clean. Black on black makes you lose the nice lines on the new MPS rims i think, So i was having a look at a burnt orange colour. MPSMatt can you please do a quick chop of a really dark orange? (you are absolutely my hero right now btw dude!!).

Chrome is super dodgy and completely not an option lol.
