What Color Rims for Sparkling Graphite?

I have a SG E92. I am thinking of getting a set of rims. I am looking for 19" and under 2k with tires. I am between the Hamman Style Race / Competition Style Wheels (miro_type_366_PR), Velocity V715 19", and CSL. I am leaning more towards the ones with a lip and I really like the 4.5" lip on the 336. What color do you guys and gals think go best black, gunmetal, or hyper black? I am thinking of getting a black grill and blacking out the window trim. I dont plan to drop the car but who knows.

Thanks,

liquid

IMO Ide go with the hyper black. I also had a 325 that was sparkling graphite and black rims dont really look good with that color. In the sunight the car can look a little purple and with black rims to me it would look like a bruise. The hyper black wheels will bring out the color of the car

Lime green or hot pink are always good choices.

But srsly, any form of gunmetal or hyperblack would look good.
