Refinishing RH C5 17s, what color to paint?

I have a white 5th gen with the mugen kit and want to refinish my silver C5s. Should I just get them painted in a bright silver again like they came, a black opal color, or a gunmetal? I scrounged around and tried to find a few pics: the black and gunmetal pics below aren't exactly what I was looking for, but you get the idea...

I have a set of RH EVO C-35s, and I'm pondering the same thing. Silver is the classic color, but I voted gunmetal. More aggressive IMO, but not to go as far as going black.

I voted gunmetal too, but if you do go gunmetal you should paint the whole rim instead of leaving a polished rim. Just looks classier IMHO.

I never considered painting the rim, but that sounds like a cool idea.

i like the original color. i have always liked how those look on the prelude. I miss the RH rims as they had some nice designs.
