Ideas for painting my stockers! Gray/Silver colors.

Here is my car as it sits now. I really don't care too much for the black painted stockers. I am also not really a fan of the stock SRT wheels due to their skinny 6'' width. Also the black is beaten to death on the stockers. I do have money for a set of rims, but I have other necessities I need for the car first. So I plan on painting the stockers this late Spring. I want to paint either the face or the entire rim a Silver or Gray type of color.

I know there are soooo many variations of Silver and Gray and I can't really think of any on top of my head.

These are the only ones available from Duplicolor to paint wheels with:
HWP100 White
HWP101 Silver
HWP102 Graphite
HWP103 Clear
HWP104 Satin Black
HWP105 Bronze
Silver or Graphite is my choice from Duplicolor. Leaning towards the Silver. Anyone know of any other companies that offer quality paint in a can to paint wheels with?

Feel free to photochop that picture with different colored wheels. :thumbup:

I think your car looks pretty nice although I think black rims do look better on other colors (like the red pictured). The other pics have given me some ideas for my 15" snowflakes until I can afford the rims I'm looking at. Nice looking Neons.
