Need some wheel color options!

So I'm taking my wheels out next week to get powder coated for spring. They're style ag 359s in the matte finish. My paint is sparkling graphite metallic, I wanted to do something different but not crazy. Definitely not going stainless color. So my options were either gloss black or go with like a nice navy or dark blue color. What do you guys think? I posted something awhile ago but didn't get much. But I got to make up my mind this week.

Gloss black would look good if you got gloss black grills to match.

Thanks for the reply guys. I found another color I like, i'm ditching the navy or deep blue for sure and thinking of going with a brushed copper color. Everyone already has black and I personally want to do to something a little different

that copper color looks good but I think you can only pull it off if you have a black car.

I don't want to go with a light copper. I kind of wanted to go with a deeper copper or a brushed look since the paint is a darker color. The brushed copper has an orange tint to it which I like. I'm just nervous/ anxious to see exactly what my color options are and what the guy doing them can work with

Copper looks "boy racer". All fine and well, but do you want a maore mature look or not is the question.

I wouldn't do it, but I'm an old guy and don't need/want the attention.
My car is arctic metallic with 19" Forgestar's in gunmetal.
