Default need help deciding on wheels colour for black (PBT) ZT-T

Hi all,

I'm looking into having a change of wheels on my ZT-T. trying to find some 19 inch rims. I've found a set of RS6 reps but they need a refurb. Just trying to decide on what colour to go for, something that makes it stand out so the wheels don't just end up looking standard.

I don't think I want black, as the car is black, don't think that would suit. Don't really want silver as that looks standard.

I'm thinking maybe a shade of grey. The tough part here is deciding what shade of grey. I want a decent gloss finish still, and I find some pics I've seen of grey wheels look like they a bit more of a dull finish which doesn't appear so glossy.

Anyone got any pics of grey wheels or any other colour? Preferably on a black car, just want to get an idea of how they'd look and if they'd suit.

Thanks
