What color should I paint? Need help!

Ok, so I'm about to get my wheels painted, But I'm having a hard time deciding what color to get.. So I thought I would ask you guys opinions..

So, I'm thinking either painting them silver or a gunmetal.
If you have other colors throw them out there. I'm open to anything.

If one of you could photoshop the wheels, I would greatly appreciate it!

Here are the wheels on my car:






Thanks in advance...

Since you're asking for opinions, my vote would be clear or no paint at all. Those wheels look great just the way they are and you'd be wasting your money if you painted/powder coated them...
