I like the way it is. I have the exact same contrast on my SL. Brushed face HRE with high polish lip, silver calipers, black on black car plus a couple CF stuff. Same on my old C, too.

Exactly what I was thinking. I guess the silver makes it classic and grey makes it more of a racing feel. Either way looks great.

I had titanium rinspeeds on my black RRS and loved the look

Well, even though your car looks good as is, I voted grey because I have a feeling you just want to change something up lol. The grey will look good, AND it will make the silver calipers stand out a little more, which will achieve both of your goals

I'd leave it. I think the silver makes the wheels looks smaller also.

C63 AMG

I'm having a set of forged wheels powder coated right now in the NIC Prismatic Powder finish Black Chrome I, which entails a first coat of chrome powder and a second one of black. The plan is to have it come out a steely-grayish hue, perhaps a little like the Shadow Chrome finish of the E39 M5 wheels. Keeping my fingers crossed...but obviously I think the gunmetal or slightly lighter color is a great look on the C63, not too flashy and somewhat technical looking.
