Wheel colour choice help

Hi guys, I'm just about to order some Vossen VPS-306 wheels for my s205 C63s and I can't really make my mind up about the colour and finish of them.
My choice is between brushed finish with dark smoke clear lacquer, brushed finish with stealth grey lacquer or solid satin bronze.
My car is palladium silver with satin black trim and badges.
What're everybody's thoughts or even some other suggestions?
cheers

I'd go for brushed with dark and gloss over that.

I think the stealth gray would look good. I had a sliver S4 with gunmetal RS4's and I always liked that color combo. If it were me though I'd go for the polished finish.

Brushed with our dark smoke tint will be amazing! I personally would choose that over the other listed GL with the decision!

Thanks for the replies. I was leaning more towards the brushed with dark smoke and it seems to be the most popular response.
Ordering them later today so just the long wait for them to be made.
Thanks again.

Brushed with dark smoke clear lacquer.
I just hope the great guys at Vossen can get them made before Christmas. Fingers crossed

Don't like your luck with getting them before Christmas

I too ordered some Midnight Smoke polished rims... was told end of Jan for delivery. I'm sure it will be worth the wait though.

sadly no offer of getting the wheels to me by Christmas but I have asked if there's any chance of pictures of the manufacturing of my wheels.
Which design did you choose Scar? If you don't mind me asking?
