Default Color for CSL Wheels on Carbon Black?

What color do you guys think looks best on Carbon Black (with a dark theme... smoked side markers, side grills, front grills, emblems, etc)?

Matte Black or Gun Metal?

I have the same setup with Gunmetal and I love the way they flow.

Matte black looks pretty good with a blackout theme, anthracite or gunmetal if you leave the corners clear and chrome on the car.

I think on CB, gunmetal looks when compared with black.

Anyone have a pic of CB with Gunmetal? I had my OEM Wheels done in Charcoal Gray and I love the look.
