I just ordered CCW C10s in competition gray (GM color used on the optional Corvette wheels) for the same arctic silver. I've seen this silver/gray combination before and it really looks good. I was considering black wheels but they tend to make tires look brown.

If it were me (but it's not it's you ), I would keep them as is or go with a gun metal grey, or perhaps a bronze.

Black is so overdone in my opinion, the other choices you have while cool, seem a bit over the top for the street.

on a side note, I recall a discussion somewhere else not long ago about the potential hazard of powder coating a finished wheel, someone speculated that the heat needed in the powder coating process could compromise the structure of the metal, does anyone thin there is any truth to that?
