Default New wheel colors?

Hi Guys
My car is going in to get the rear bumper re-sprayed after I backed into my brothers car. So I was thinking of getting my rims sprayed darker. I have the frozen white Zetec with 16s. how dark should I go. and is any one good with photo shop to do changes?

I have a Diamond White WP Fiesta (like an eggshell white), with the factory 16" rims sprayed in gunmetal.



I like the colour contrast between wheels and body.

I sprayed and clearcoated them myself 4 years ago, and required a touch-up earlier this year. Mind you, I don't clean the brake dust off my rims as often as I should so that has likely affected the durability.
