I would say black centers, if you want it to be different then flat black. I love the way that Racing Hart CXRs look in flat black.

Leave them as they are. The gunmetal will be too similar to your DG. The brightness of the wheels now and the color of the car contrast very well and look good.

I wonder if you can anodize them and still leave the lip polished.

Have the spokes color matched to your car, and have the lips polished or chromed.

I widened my 18" stocks rears to 10.5" and then i get them power coated with a paint called "xtreme chrome" and it looks great like chrome but not so "chrome" and at less than a 1/4 of the price to be chromed.

By my experience, do just one wheel first and then if you like it do the other 3, i will post pictures later.

BTW my car is gray to.
