Default powder coating OEM S4 wheels

I have a black B5 A4 and a set of black S4 wheels. Not a fan of the murdered out look unless it's done 100%. Anyone have suggestions as to what color I should go with? I'm thinking either a very bright white or super dark blue. Any efforts from those with photoshop would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on the fence... both just look ok.

charcoal/graphite would look good. i have a black B5 with GTI huffs painted graphite.

i'm not a fan of the "murdered out" rides anymore either.

looks good man. I'm leaning very heavily towards graphite now. I'm still open to suggestions, but that might be the winner.
