repainting rims. what color???

ok.. i own a 2003 PSM WRX. I have tint all around black, blacked out headlights, blacked out sidemarkers, blacked out tails, black fog covers and gunmetal rims. '

now the rims have been thrashed a little because of my dad laying two of them on their faces on a slight hill so they slid a little and messed up the rims paint. i plan on repainting them myself. what color should i repaint them?

eh, stock 02-04 wrx wheels rarely look good painted, but if they are already messed up I'd say gunmetal
