Default What color

Looking for opinions for what color to re-finish my wheels. I have broken them all down, sanded the lip (want to keep either macined or polished finish) and now down to the centers. Was thinking of staying silver, gun metal or santorin blue. Just cant make up my mind. First pic is what they looked like. stainless ring.(curb protector) they were pretty beat so i am doing away with them. These are A! avantgarde slr wheels made by bbs.

If you want to be safe, silver is the color to go. However, I'd suggest the polished look with chrome lips.

If you want to try something different, I'd suggest bright green or purple. Pink is overdone on a blue car.

Santorin centers with chrome or polished lips would be SICK! Personally I think gunmetal is overplayed.

I think the blue centers would look good but i have not found any good pics of it done. Photoshop would be great if anybody feels up to it.TIA. I am staying away from black centers cause they are even more played then gunmetal. If you need a better side shot for the ps, lmk.

I would go candy white, but depending on how often you want to clean them, it may not be the greatest idea
