need advice...what color to repaint the TE37's on my 996TT

Hi everyone, thanks for looking.....I need some advice as to what color I should have my wheels repainted. I love the white, but I think it's a bit to much contrast on black. I want to do something different, but I have a feeling they'll end up a dark color....or I might do something like red wheels with red mirrors....any advice would be appreciated.

I would Powdercoat them satin black. I don't think the wheels would look good in a light color

Here is a photoshop of a black 997. You can get the general idea what the colors would look like on black porsche. These are the 3 choices I would go for on a black car. Let us know when you get them done!

I love the white!!! Want them for my Seal Gray! Below is a pic of LE37's on my Black 350z before I got my 996tt many moons ago, might help your decision also seeing the color combo...
