Default what color rim to go with? I need opnions

alright guys, I need opnions on which color rim to go with. I was thinking about all black at first, but now I'n torn between all gunmetal, black/polished lip, and gunmetal with a polished lip. My car is heather mist and I've got blackhousings, tinted tails, and dark tinted windows. which do you think would look best?

Heather mist is a tough color to match up. Because of the tannish color, anything in the bronze color range will look bad.

I'd go with the royal gunmental with a polished lip.

I was leaning towards black when I was first thinking about getting them, but I think they might look like I'm riding around on steelies so I'm steering away from that now. I'm definately going to go with the darker colors, but the question is to go polished lip, or full solid color. not that it matters, but I have some black lugnuts on the way. would black lugnuts with gumnetal rims flow well?

I think i'd be hard to tell.

If you get something with a polished lip, then standard lugs should look fine.
