OEM Rays Paint Suggestions

I picked up some 19 inch OEM Rays last week and was going to have them painted. Looking for some suggestions on colors with an OB. I was originally thinking gunmetal. I also thought I can put paint the spokes gunmetal or black and chrome the rest. I went from 20's to these wheels and like them much better for handling and performance. I dont think it was the size difference as much as the quality of wheel, KMC's vs Rays. I want to keep these for a year until I save up for some really nice Volk's. Thanks for your input. I have searched and the pics are not numerous for OB's.

keep those as they are and use them for winter wheels and then do your new set of wheels in some colors. especiallly if you go with some real wheels like volks and other stuff you've been looking at.

I think gunmetal would look the best and black is overdone on OB imo.

I picked up some gunmetal last week and I am gonna hit it tomorrow. My rims have some curb rash and needs some JB weld action. I will throw up some before and after pics. Looks like were finally getting some sun here for a change. I like the black but I think it hides how nice these stock wheels are.

+1, the OEM Hypersilver is basically impossible to replicate once you ruin it. The OEM color gives the wheels much more overall depth

Once you get a little bit of curb rash on a painted Ray it sticks out like a sore thumb.

So just for my knowledge I have OEM rays with curb rash there a little beat up. There's no way to sand and repaint?
