ok as the topic says i have these 19" vs-xx work wheels and im going to http://www.paposauto.com/ (papos) he in queens village amazing work for a very reasonable price but i dont know what to do with the wheels.. i need your help guys! and gals! AWG should have some good idea's no? and eurocarfan, he has like a million pair of wheels lol.. 
I am getting them redone and in doing so i want to get them painted another color so i was thinking gloss black lip to match my car and gunmetal center?? what do you guys think? and if anybody has good photoshop skills i would appreciate it 
.. but... papo has told me i shouldnt paint it any matte in the center because he cant put a layer of clear because it will become shiny agn.. he's a great guy and very understanding. never lies and always tell you what can be done and what cant, basicly he said the matte colors arent too good because there no protection from the heat so after a bit they will peel. but im so confused i dont know what to do and what color to make them help me out guys! 
Brabuswamg209 came with me to check it out but i dont know what to do 
Here are some pics of my car thanks to Scott (SDG1871)

Correction, I only have 2 pairs of wheels; a pair of 20x9s for the front and a pair of 20x10s for the rears.
I've always like gunmetal centers just like how my R10s used to look. But another idea I had toyed around with in the past is to do a titanium/bronzish finish. I think it would look great on a black car.

ant, ur spending money to get them refinished. Why not make it look different? I think you should go with a darker gunmetal or graphite and HIGH GLOSS BLACK lip. It should look HOT!!!!! U need SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSYYYYYYYYYYYYY lip. it will look really nice IMO
