Default LE28N / CE28N color change...HELP!

Sooo... here's the story, I had some scratches on the face of one of my gunmetal + polished lip LE28N's, so I took it to this shop and the powder coat came back much lighter than the others.

...but it looks awesome.

So here's my dilemma, do I try to get them to match all 4 to the new color (dark silver) do I try to get them to match back to the original, (gunmetal) or do I go with a new color??

Here's some of the colors that I was thinking - keep in mind my car is berlina with some CF bits scattered about.

- The original color of the wheels, Gunmetal + PL (polished lip)
- The new color, Dark Silver +PL
- Dark Bronze + PL
- Gold +PL
- Black +PL been vetoed
- Matte Black +PL
- Bronze (no polished lip)
- Gold
- Black
- Takata Green
- Orange

Open to other suggestions if you have them. A photo of the original is below.

Thanks!

Here are the two other colors that were available from the factory - and still in the running for the new finish.

White, Takata Green, Si Blue, Matte Black, they would all look good.

Just make sure whoever powdercoats them knows what the hell they are doing, don't want to have your $3000 Volks crack!

Decisions decisions...the jury is still out, thanks for the input!

Takata green sure is tempting...

I'll be sure to post up some pics after they're done.
