Opinions: Gunmetal, Polished, or different wheels all together

I am trying to sell these wheels in their current polished finish, but there hasn't been any action so I did a quick chop of what they would look like gunmetal. The wheels started out bronze, then I got them polished for a more "professional" look since I take clients out in my G from time to time. Now I think I am over the polished look and want to switch it up. Ideally I would like some different style wheels in 18" or 19", but I wouldn't buy them unless I sold these first. If I keep these wheels, I will either stay polished, or powdercoat so the color possibilities are endless. I am considering polished, gunmetal, flat black, or, gloss black and I am leaning more towards keeping them polished or gunmetal. I also toyed with the idea of color matching the inner part and powdercoating the lip black, but I don't really know how that would turn out. Opinions and ideas for different colors are encouraged...

Photoshop in gunmetal...


Polished (Current state)

Opinion.........here's mine.

Gunmetal looks good on some wheels but due to the
number of spokes it makes the centers disappear.
For some real bling have the whole wheel polished
then clearcoated.....that will give your ride that
Wow factor!

So would I. Unfortunately when I purchased the wheels from another forum member, I was unaware that they do not make center caps for the RH J5 Pro Version II, only the Version I.
