997 Turbo S Wheel Color Advice

When I received the car I had the wheels done in the same stain black that my prior HRE's used on my 997. I am thinking maybe a Gloss finish is the right way to make the wheels pop. I think maybe even Grey or Titanium?

So the question is

1- Stay as is?

2- Go with Black gloss

3 - Go with Dark Grey or Titanium in a Gloss?

Your thoughts are appreciated. (F Car photo is for ref, credit to johnsgt)

gloss black with silver pinstripe (like oem option)

when the car is ordered through oem with a black wheel it has a pinstripe in silver.

x2! The pinstripe would add some much needed definition to the wheels. Maybe do the pinstripe in white to match the car?

why are you asking? don't know if that is the right thread for that, but:
it depends i would say...my dad and i don't drive them that often. Generally i can say that the f430 being a modern car, is more reliable. But for both cars you have to care for them which means bring them regularly into service etc...
one shouldnt forget: they are italian cars and they are quite high-endish: so it can happen that the 430 doens't start on all 8 cylinders when its really cold..
