Painted Stock Enkeis

Hello everyone,
I am a new member to the forum. I do not have an Evo (yet ), but I am going to put stock Evo X Enkeis on my Mazda 3. My car is a black hatch and I need suggestions on colour choices to paint/powdercoat my new rims. Please post picture of your painted stockers so I can get an idea what they will look like. Also, any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

MODS: If there is already a similar thread, my apologies, but I am still learning the organization of the threads here. Please move as appropriate.

Go with black or gold. Any color would look good on a black car.

Thoughts on Takata Green, Orange (like the Enkei Orange), or some other outlandish colour?

Gold looks the best with a black car, orange would be good also. Green is just trying too hard to stand out.

the first pic looked good. it looks more like anodized blue like you find on fuel line fittings. the last one it too neon blue IMO.

I think those 3 are the same car, just different lighting.

I'm leaning towards gold or orange. I figure gun metal/dark grey looks too plain on already "plain" looking rims.

I love this color, only because you can't see the brake dust on it anymore.
