Default Photoshop'd suggestions for wheel refinishing color, please

So at long last, I've put my JDM used-wheel centers into (~3-week wait) line to strip and powder coat. Fortunately, the lips are near immaculate polished with factory clear-anodized finish and by-default I would/might have them refinished to match SSR's OE silver.

But I'm somewat tormented that most everybody's wheels that I see commuting everyday are very-near-same OEM silver. And both the good and bad voices in my head concurr that I don't relate to being like everybody else...

My '12 xB is SCM and I'd dearly love to find a different complimentary wheel-center color that also higlights the polished lips, chromed (cleaned up) assembly and mounting bolts, and OE silver center cap logos but sets it apart from everbody else's FNOEM silver. And please, no dayglos, I want a clean classic look.
I've been thinking a light bronze (but I don't want it to look BBS-like gold), metallic copper or gun metal...

So here's my challenge/request:
Given the limited photos currently at my disposal, PLEASE photoshop me your color suggestion.
Or just vote that OE silver is the way to go.

High metallic gunmetal with gold hardware. Game over. A color like shadow mica would look ****.
