I have the same wheels and love them. My next choice would be the 18" Carrera lightweights. I am not personally fond of a black center wheel as you don't get to easily see the detail but, again, that is a matter of choice. I recommend chrome or stainless lug bolts to spruce up the wheels. Nice job on the photoshop and let us see the results if you decide to make the color change.

The gloss black center with a silver lip sort of gives a nod to the classic Fuchs alloys. But that's just me.

Since your car appears to be seal grey, I would match the coloring to the wheel centers (possible a little darker grey, such as a gun metal). Satin or semi-gloss would be my preference, if you wish to go with the black centers.
Years back, I hand painted one of my car's wheel centers with a washable acrylic paint, so I could really get an idea if I liked the look or not...may not be as easy as photoshop, but I wanted to see it in person.

All good ideas. I would avoid the flat black since "everyone" is doing this so the fad can't last much longer.

I like the painted wheel. Looks great, but I'm with jmatta, I think a gun metal color would be a really good look for your color.
