I am going to be painting my stock snowflakes. I am not going to go the powdercoat route. I'm not spending $300 plus for stock rims that are painted when I can buy rotas for $550. So I'm going to paint, but I will take my time and do it right. My question is, what color do you all think would look best on galaxy grey?

Gloss Black
Satin Black
Graphite Gray (~gunmetal)

I was going to use the Duplicolor wheel paint, followed by 3 coats of clear for any color that I choose. I'm also thinking of switching my calipers from red to a mangoish grabber orange.
 
i have the galaxy grey mz3 myself, whoooot!

i recently saw a fellow mz3 GG member paint some rx8 wheels w/ graphite color and it looked AWESOME.

black wheels are a fav of mine as well, but let me see if i can find his post
 
That DOES look pretty good. Thanks. Though, I couldn't see the large pics because I don't have an image shack account. The thing I worry about is that the graphite, of course, doesn't match the GG paint, which is fine, but I didn't want it to look like I tried to match the car and did a half ass job. I mean, that the color is close but not quite.

Any pics of gloss black snowflakes no a GG? I think I would leave the lugs chrome and remove the emblems because I wouldn't want the tire and rim to just blend all together.
