Of the options you listed, and based on your criteria of wanting something different, I'd say go with gloss black or matte black for the entire wheel.

Here's an example of an entirely matte black wheel. Looks good, doesn't it?

i like the way they look now. just get them repolished and stay away from the black with polished lip as its done too many times. If you really want, get your wheels painted neon green with glow in the dark flames on your car.

I kind of like the pink. I personally would never do it, however, it doesn't look bad.

Matte Black FTW!! Here's my brothers Z with matte black powder coated stock wheels. For all your powder coating check out Performance Powder Coating of Frederick. They did his wheels and they turned out great

Just repolish them. There nice looking wheels, and you can do it your self for cheap. Go buy some Brooklyn Ball Buster and be done with it.

That’s it, I'm going matte black, whole wheel….Although it may kill my resale value huh?

I repolished them by hand when I first got them, and they looked good. But there is no clear on them, and now the look like crap! I don't like rolling on wheels with spacers, but I have to to clear my Brembo's haha. I'm always looking for something that doesn’t need spacers though.
