honestly, to me color matching would be a step backwards. I think it would be way too much blue. I would keep them silver, or just go with a darker gunmetal or something along those lines. Color matched wheels are hard to pull off without the car looking like some west coast customs abomination...

id say a darker gunmetal would look nice. don't do the color match, to much blue IMO.

Not sure how polished spokes would look probably too blingy but take a pic of your car from the side and edit the photo and see what you want there are plenty of apps for picture editing these days

Polished wheels look good, but they look good as is.

do not color match. that will look tacky. keep them brushed or get them polished.
