Sapphire black with 214 wheels (COLOR)?

I just bought my new X5 sapphire black and I’m in the process of upgrading my wheels to 20” 214 OEM.
Just paint all the arch extensions and the bumpers (all around) to match the body paint...
The question is:
I leave the Wheels at silver color or i paint them more darker..?
I do not wanna paint them all black….maybe someone already paint them something in between that could share some pictures…
Many thanks

I vote silver.

Maybe leave it silver and then mod in the fall again, by spraying a new color.

Silver, or perhaps a gray. But not black.

Gunmetal gray... not black, black totally masks all the details of the wheel (especially since your car is black already.) Silver would look too stock IMO.

I like black, i was on the fence about it because i hate the murdered out look but it works for our X5 in my opinion gives it a mad max look i added 20mm spacers in the rear and 12mm in the front after these pictures. my 2nd pick would be gun metal.
