gunmetal FD: gunmetal wheels or flat black wheels?

my FD is the spirit R color and right now my wheels are painted gloss black (by the previous owner) and i;m wanting to change them. i am debating painting them gunmetal or flat black. which do you guys think looks better? these pics are my friend's former car, not mine

Ah, I see now. Awsome car by the way.

I hope these can help solve your problem. (Sorry for posting anyones car, but it means that I like it)

Some of the cars are silver instead of gunmetal but it was the best I could do.

My vote right now is, larger black rim with chrome lip. See car #2

haha

now thats funny, when I posted it I was like damn that looks just like it with different rims. It didnt even cross my mind it was the same car.

I still say, Black rims chrome lip. Not one of your options but I think out of the box.
