Best wheel color for DG M5?

All, I'm thinking of powder coating my 789M comp wheels and I'm curious what the group's thoughts are for best color to go with Donnington Grey. I would think matte/satin black would be a good option.

Other thoughts? If anyone has pics to go with their views, that would be appreciated as well.

I have a MBB M5C and am in the same boat. I'm thinking satin or glossy (the black paint on the stock wheels is glossy).

I just swapped my 706 wheels for 789 wheels, had them powder coated gloss black.
It's not DG but may help you get a better idea of how it will look. I'm very happy with it.

Are you running spacers with those wheels? They look great! I am also looking for a change on my DG machine.

Looks good. I had heard the F90 H&R springs didn't provide much of a drop (at least on the comp) that's why I went with the H&R 550 springs on my comp. Regardless, your car looks solid. Enjoy!

Go graphite. My F85 is Donington Gray with Gloss Black wheels. Love the look, but the graphite has enough contrast and hides the brake dust.
