Default What color should I paint my LTZs

Picked these up today for $180, one is painted and the other 3 are polished.. clear isnt in great shape, very minor pitting... Im gonna paint them since I dont feel like spending a bunch of time stripping and polishing. Im thinking some kind of metallic darker grey? I dont want to go black and I dont want standard silver... I used a pretty cool dark bronze once that has some gold metallic in it? what are everyones thoughts? sorry for the large pic. idk how to shrink them.

going on this.

Good choice going polished. Getting hard to find these wheels in good shape depending on your location.

After stripping clear
Hit really bad spots with 240. 400. 400 with mothers. 800 with mothers. And 0000 steel wool with mothers. Will do brown then white rouge with buffer for final finish. This was the worst wheel out of the bunch.

Got about 2 hours in that one. Probably 2 1/2-3 hours per wheel when all said and done.
