Rim advice/help needed....!

[Neeko]

Once upon a time I bought four stunning 7 spoke rims with a polished face and a gun metal grey colour on the inside. As breathtaking as they were to me at the time they just don't seem to fulfill their purpose at pleasing me anymore. Over recent months they have suffered from wear and tear and are loosing their precious clear coat over the shiny polished face.
After consulting the local spray painter and a dear friend to me he offered me a price of $150 per rim to splash some new paint on them.

Here is my question: What colour should I go for? They can even have metallic in them to make them sparkle.

If you guys want to go photoshop crazy here is a pic :) Any ideas more then welcome!
oh and i'll post up a pic of the condition they're in later.

the flash shows up the damage nicely. I recon a metallic silver, similar to the colour of mine. A tad lighter and with a few more metallic bits in em. Either that or black all the way ;) :skep:

It's entirely up to what you want the finish to be...

You can get them painted up to any colour or re-polished :)
