Wheel color

I found a place close to me who will powder coat my wheels for $75-100 per wheel. I have a black 85 targa saw on here of a black 911 w/graphite powder coated wheels on it. Really like the look! I have the same set of wheels. What color do you guys think would look good....satin black, flat black, graphite, gloss black.....any thoughts or pic's?

What wheel do you have? Post up a pic...the design of the wheel is important in determining what colour looks good.

Good point. Also, if the are Fuchs or something similar that is easily painted why no do it yourself and save $400.00 - the cost of spray paint. Did the polishing and painting on mine 2 years ago and they still look awesome.

The are 16" 993 wheels. Given to me. They make me able to run 225 (front) 245 rear. I'm planning on using them for the track and thought black powder coat would look sharp and be more durable than regular spray paint.
