Getting wheels redone

I got new tires the other day and the shop F'd up my wheels now they are paying to refinish them. I just got back from the tire place and they took one of my wheels to send off to get redone with the same color. I just found out though that the place that did it is the same place that pc'd Elite and heats wheels. Now i am wondering if i should go back and see if I can have them do one of those colors instead. I wasnt sure about going with a darker color but just found these pics of elite and heats cars again and am having second thoughts. Here are pics of there colors

Heat's wheels



Elite's wheels



what do you guys think i should do?

Stock
Black like Heats wheels or
Gunmetal like Elites

I have a PG.

I voted black like heats because I think gunmetal might be a shade off from PG and possibly clash or not look right.

keep them stock. I've said this before and I hate powdercoated stocks. It cheapens the look of any car. don't hate me ppl with powdercoated wheels it's just an opinion.

I vote Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and violet. It could work cause each wheel has 10 spoke and it would represent yourself lolz.

Nah jk, I like stock man but if you don't want stock then Black guy gunmetal would kind of just match yourcar

I also say keep them stock color. *just my opinion* but I think I only like black wheels on black/dark colored cars. That's just my opinion though. I like Elite's PC gunmetal on his OB too. So, I say stay stock color. Our OEM 19's are one of the hottest stock wheels made.
