Exclamation Help me chose a color to powdercoat!

Hey dudes... While amuse is being slapped on at the shop, I've come to the realization that I really need to powdercoat the spokes on my wheels once the kit is on.

The wheels in question are BBS LM style 20", with a 2" lip up front and 4.5" up rear. (10, 11)

I've ran the hyperblack (a shade of silver) with polished lip color combo that comes from factory for the whole time I've had the wheel. It looks pretty much like a completely machined silver wheel.

This looks awesome up close (4-10 feet away from the car), and while it is parked.

However at a distance, the wheel appears to be a huge blob of silver, almost chrome-like. Also, up close, when driving at speed, I don't quite enjoy the look of the pattern either. So its time to change it up.

My options are:

- Candy Red
- Candy Blue
- Black (not sure of what shade, whether gloss, matte, or maybe even gunmetal)

Any input and advice is welcome. Here are some pics of the wheels on the actual car.












Now what I DONT like: too much silver pattern going on there while spinning.




OPTIONS:

Candy Blue



Candy Red



Black (can't find a Z picture)



Thoughts? Suggestions? Pictures of cars you know?
