Default Gonna powder coat my 24's, help with ideas

The 24's on the Tahoe are in sad shape after a couple years of Florida weather. I have a friend who owns a powder coating shop. He said he will sand blast them clean, dip them in some prep stuff, and then powder coat them for a price I couldn't pass up. I am just wondering what color to go with? I was thinking glossy black or a flat black then my wife suggested an alloy rim dull silver color. What do you guys think?
Here is a pic of the Tahoe and rims.



I can't do a polished lip or anything so it will have to be one solid color. Ideas?

Black would be to dark IMO, something close the exterior color or darker!

Since you can't do a polished lip, I would NOT do black. I'd use a dark grey color, similar to the Torq Thrust wheels.

I wish someone would sell rims like that. Simple, yet advanced at the same time.

I'm not a fan of glossy but I think Gloss black would look good. Mine were a flat black but the color of my truck works well with it. Sorry for the lack of photoshopping skills.
