I'd recommend no darker than charcoal - black's a bit too harsh.
But that's just my 2c. YMMV.

Hehe GOT LIP?
Nice wheels I would be paranoid of any pothole or bump after fitting them. (Make sure you get em insured).

Didn't know you could insure rims.

(Insure them as part of the car). Going by their size each wheel + tyre combined would be worth a fair bit my guess at least $700-$800.00? So make sure they are specifically noted on your policy and covered for their full value otherwise you will only be covered for the value of stock wheels + tyres.

interesting choice there mate, as Clarence suggested go charcoal - gun metal. Also what width are those wheels out of curiosity? Any idea how much they weight? You will def be unique rolling with those.

About the same as the stock spec b wheels was going to switch back but not really worth it for weight reasons

Black would work... Needs to be either black or close to black... charcoal/gunmetal...

Here's the wheel picture:
I'm with Tangla on this one. Matte black is good for the track, but for the street a glossy gunmetal or charcoal would be better.

As some of the guys have already said, charcoal or a similar tint is the way to go.
