Best wheel color for Brands Hatch Grey

Looking to change the wheels on my new BHG F90. Have pretty much settled on the BBS FI-R style, but likely going with Signature or Forgeline. Can't decide on the color. With all the black accents on the LCI, gloss black wheels are seemingly a good choice but sometimes black rims just get washed out with black tires. So thinking maybe a gunmetal or dark grey. i'm not bold enough to go bronze or any crazy colors.

I tried to find some example pictures best I could.

Thoughts? Any other shades I should consider?

Even lighter colored wheels go well with BHG. Here’s mine with Ferric Grey 863M.

This is going to end up a "great taste, less filling" debate. I prefer dark wheels. I don't know why. Light wheels on the M5 make me angry. No matter the design, the color of lighter wheels is just... boring. I had an SA just happen to spec out and build a damn near perfect M5 himself, and it was due here by Christmas... and he had gotten it built in time to have Bowers. Then I saw the wheels he got. Dealbreaker.

Dark/black wheels on Brands Hatch Grey look fabulous to me.

I’ve gone black 863M on our Singapore Grey M5C and they look really good

Hmmm....bet I could powdercoat those 863's. Black 863's might look nice.
