Default What color to powder coat OEM wheels?

So a friend of mine offered to powder coat my wheels for free and although I'll probably end up doing flat black he suggested to try another color and if I don't like it we can just redo them black. What other color do you guys think looks good with Spa Yellow? I was thinking maybe bronze?

Mine are grey.Not sure how that would look with yellow.
The powder coating has held up very well.

Definitely Black. And then get the caps black with a Yellow "H" Vinyl sticker. It will look sweet.

I had my wheels painted white and the stickers are holding up fine so far. If you need a place to get the stickers I can pm you an email address to the person that did mine.

Chartruse gets my vote. I don't even know what color it is. Or how to spell it. But it's fun to say. Chartruse...

I say glossy black. I think flat black looks like brake dust. But you never wash your car anyway so sure, go with flat black.
