Looking to refurbish wheels but not sure what color??

As the title says guys, I think its time to refurb my turbo twists on my Midnight Blue 996TT. Any suggestions on what color? I'm thinking an anthracite'ish type color but what shade? Any help much appreciated! Pics would help very much also, so i can take the pic to the refurber!

personally i think bright silver color would look best on a midnight blue car...

I love gunmetal/charcoal on Midnight but honestly its tough to get the stock wheels to look good since they make the car look so outdated. I say invest that money into a set of new daily wheels. Then use your stocks for track days or winter/beat up mode.

I did Seal Grey on my Turbo Twists and I like it very much.

I'll see if I can find a pic.

my car is also midnight blue, I have silver wheels on it, looks good, but thinking going darker to a charcoal type color.. black made the car and paint look cheap.. try a charcoal or just go boring bright silver..
