Change rim color? Opinions!

So I did my rims DIY Gunmetal...I love it...but lately have been debating switching them to black...(still DIY)...the quality came out so Im not worried about that. Sunday I am doing my headlights (possibly gunmetal if i keep them, black if i dont) so that would be the time to change it up because I am going to touch the rims up anyways. Here is a pic of their current look

So let me know, lookin for some opinions. Black or gunmetal

haha my friend was smoking when he took the pic.... A drop is def. in the near future, but $$ is extra tight right now, very very soon tho. I love that the rims are DIY and since i have different things i want to do first, rims are not going to be for awhile, and DIY, IMO, is sick . Just so torn on which color to do!!!

Walk up to your local rim shop and get the biggest rims that will fit without clearance issues. Because otherwise its like riding a mountain bike with training wheels.

I say keep it the way it is, and match the headlights gunmetal. Gunmetal is different than the black everyones' using, so keep it unique and go gunmetal,
