Hello! My car is titanium grey color. I'm planning to have my wheels powder coat with gunmetal color. What do you guys think about this color matching. Thanks

Might match too much. You definitely want a little contrast on your wheels. Try to polish the spokes after you powdercoat it titanium grey. You can see those pics in member "JOHN"'s M5. I love his wheels.
