Wheel Refurb - Pic Request

My Sprint Blue RS4 has some scuffs on the wheels from a previous owner.
I am going to get them refurbed but thought that I might go for a colour change when I'm at it.
Thinking along the lines of a gunmetal gray powdercoating finish.
Any opinions?
And if anyone has that done on their car I'd like to see some pics, did a search but didn't see blue with gunmetal wheels.

Have you considerd a matt anthracite finish? Mine has it and i think they look great, not a sprint blue car though.

Yeah that's my other concern, I don't want to go too dark , black is out.
Will I have to do the chrome and mirrors too....
The Avant above is perfect I think, the chrome still looks fine.
Maybe like this?

not a fan of the titan colour it makes the wheels look like unwashed brake dusted silver wheels

Looks ok similar to silver shadow meaning it kind of looks dirty when clean, ive grown to like my oem silver with mugello blue but still fancy a change..still looking for a good pic of mugello with black gloss wheels.

I run a bodyshop and we did these for a white r8, they looked great on the car.

Same, can't find a picture of a Mugello RS with black or anthracite wheels anywhere.. I wan't to get mine done but can't decide on the shade without seeing beforehand..!
