What color should I paint my rims and grill

Hey guys,
I own a 2004 DG G35 coupe. On Sunday I'd like to paint my stock 18's and grill. I've seen a number of coupes with the whole grill including the emblem painted a flat black, which I really like. I'm having a hard time deciding what color would look best for the rims. Should I go with a gunmetal color, or should I match the flat black to the grill? I'm tempted to go black with an eggshell light gloss. To complete the look I'm going to do a light tint on all the windows and smoke the tails. Clear corners are also on the way. Ultimately I just need your advice as to what color would be best for the rims.
Thanks!

I would paint the grille flat black, don't paint the emblem. As for the wheels, I like the way OEM 18's look they look too ricey when they're painted sorry :P

^+1 go emblemless or paint the everything flat black but the emblem. As far as the wheels, i dont think you should paint them unless you have major curb rash, if you do then paint them a close to oem color. I dont like the color of oem's painted black

Satin black on the grille.

If you're going to paint that wheels go to napa or wherever and get duplicolor wheel coating in gunmetal. It's got metal flakes in it and has great adhesion. It's just a little darker than OEM.
