Default Do gun metal since your car is silver and maybe remove your center caps..(info)..

depends where you go...usually runs about
$100-$150 from a wheel shop but you can also try powder-coating companies(like factories) and usually they will do it for alot cheaper(50/rim)and a really good job 'cuz they are professional at P-coating. Downside is that they usually don't do fancy stuff like polish lips, and you will need to dismount and mount your rims back on your own.

Default Something between gun metal metallic and the shade of silver your car is.

You don't want the wheels to 'dominate' the car, you want them to 'complement' the car.
