What color to paint stock wheels on basalt blk

I have the basalt black metallic and am getting an extra set of oem hollow spokes with some curb rash. I would like to get them refinished, I need recs on colors, I initially was thinking about body color but it seems overwhelming at times ( I have this setup on my black s2000). I thought a deeper darker metallic gray would work, any suggestions or pics. thanks.

Nah, flat black is just not going to look good.

Mine are gloss black and they look awesome. I also painted the "turbo" logo on back and the exhaust tips black. With the windows tinted I get alot of compliments.

These would be perfect on BASALT BLACK and they have brand new Pirellis all the way around. I mean like only 100 miles on them.

Andreas

Let me know if you are interested.

Oh forgot to attach image. I also have a set of Heated Sport SEATS that I may sell????

If you check out my picture link below you will see some shots of these wheels on my car and how great they looked.

Let me know if anyone of you guys are interested. If in the bay area we can make arrangements to try them on your car to see how they look??
