Need Opinions on Wheel Color Change

Was expecting the Titanium rim color but it came out much darker, not sure what to think since I can't see it in person until mid-October.

I'm leaning towards too dark, the color is Metallic Gunmetal Black. If the color stays, was thinking doing something to blend it to the car better-say tires with a red pinstripe or something.

It's pretty close, but mine appears darker. It just seems too dark.

Considering Titanium trim to pull the car together better if I keep the rims this dark.

Titanium would be much better, those look too dark against dark paint... would look better against silver.

I like the wheel colour, it's almost black. I agree it needs some matching detailing on other areas of the car to look right.

If you were intent on repainting them, I wouldn't personally go for a lighter titanium colour. I'd go for high silver for the contrast or go full hog with gloss black and black detailing I think.
