Default Powdercoated Rims

All,
I gave my G/F (AKA Navi) my OEM rims from my 2003 G35 Coupe - - she loves them on her 2005 Enthusiast Z, but unfortunately has curbed them a couple times!!!!

Anyway, I'm past that... I want to now get them powdercoated the best color to match her (excuse this) orange-colored Z.

What color powdercoating would everyone recommend?!?!?!?!?!?

ANY AND ALL ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!

I think you're pretty much limited to colors being it's going on a Lemans Sunset Z. I'd stick to silver, gunmetal, or maybe black. I personally dont like chrome, but If you like it go for it.

i would look through some of the lemans sunset photos to get an idea of what looks good. It seems like gunmetal and silver are both popular options...you can think of doing gold or bronze as well. If you go to a reputable powdercoating shop, they will give you a better idea of what is available.
