You got your answer right there then. It is now clear that the best choice is:
Miro M6 style front left corner
VMR 710 front right corner
OEM 166 rear left corner
VMR CSL rear right corner
I'll kick in $20 if you do it. Anyone else?

V710's powder-coated in gunmetal.....not one of your choices, but would look bad-azz. I liked my CSL look, but not the finish from VMR...pretty thin and flaky.
So, if you go wit CSL's, get them powder-coated matte, gunmetal so they hold up, and they'll look sicker than any other CSL's out there. As I've stated numerous times, the VMR paint is not the best....will flake with the slightest contact. As an example, the paint job on my cheap Sport Edition A7 winter wheels is 10 times better than the VMR finish (they look powder-coated) and the overall casting is much better too, and they cost almost half as much...they just don't look as cool as VMR's.
So, I can't stress enough to have your VMR's powder-coated, no matter what your choice. Don't forget that the VMR's are hub-centric, a huge reason to get them over the MIRO's. I wonder if the HRE centercaps fit in the V710's...would seal the deal for me on those if they did.

Yeah now that I think it I should have left the 166's out of the poll.

I know some are over the 166's but they're popular for a reason - they are sick! I'm so in love with them on my car! 
Picture just don't do them justice.

After doing an extensive amount of research on the web; I feel like gunmetal would match my cars color.
I dont think I would want that unless I had a black car.
To me it comes down to hyperblack or matte black (only if I purchase the CSL Reps or the V710's)
