Volk TE37s need refinishing! Help me pick a color

Hey guys, so the time has come for my 18" Volks to be refinished and I am going for a different look. The car is NBP and the current wheel color is bronze.

Here are the colors I am playing with
Mag Blue
Chrome (powdercoat)
Black Chrome (powdercoat)

I know black chrome would be a custom color and polished/chromed or mag blue are super rare. Help me pick because I love all three ideas. Mag blue would tie in the pearl like FIRE!

ok, so I can't seem to figure out how to do a poll, someone educate me!? seems like black chrome and mag blue are neck and neck....I have to say I am leaning towards mag blue....much easier to touch up in the case that there is ever damage!

Black Chrome it. Dipped though not powder coated.

Here is my Black Chromed TE37 on my GSR. People complimented on it everywhere I went.

Have you thought about a two-tone? Maybe Black chrome on the lip and matte black on the rest.

I am feeling the mag blue hardcore guys, just tough to get it accurate. The powder guy I am dealing with seems to think the blue is a thick candy blue finish over a silver basecoat, maybe even a dark silver.

You can get it mag blue for the attention but you'll end up wanting the black chrome months later......you'll see. Powercoat it Fuscia!! No one will steal it then.
