A-spec Rims, Best finish for SSM?

Hi guys, I want to pick up some A-spec rims but I am not sure what finish looks best with SSM.

Can somebody post some pictures of SSM TLs with A-spec rims. Thanks.

I think gunmetal looks best with Black.

This has the correct part #'s as well as the correct color names. also has the pics of the 3 different color wheels. no gunmetal pics in this link. Only Chrome, satin silver (which is also called ebony) and the sparkle silver. Hope this helps
