Hello! Im planning to powder coat my oem 166 wheel. My car color is titanium grey. Can you guys help pick color for the wheels to be powder coated? Im thinking about hyperblack or dark black. Any suggestions is much appreciated. Thanks a lot again.

Don't. I don't think it looks good with a dark car. Not unless you seriously have a lot of aggressive exterior mods on your car like full Mtech, lowered nicely, shadowline trim, tints. If its just non-sport and you throw 166's on and powdercoat them with some fat rusty rotor hubs in the background it'll look like a one-dollar millionaire is driving it.
Just remember dark wheels attract the eye towards what is behind the wheels and not the wheels themselves. That's just my opinion.

Funny!! I JUST dropped my OEM 166s off to be stripped on Friday. Pick them up tomorrow and off to get HIGH GLOSS "Mercedes Black" Powdercoat...
I'm super pumped as it will complete the Murdered Out look for my Beast (15% tint) but im a little nervous on the "high gloss" as i dont know what its going to turn out like...
im hoping like this;
