I'd go standard.

From experience black and white always looks dirty. Black also shows every mark inc stone chips, washing swirls etc. Anything dark isn't gonna look good in my mind as the car is quite dark.

A hyper silver with extra metallic might look good.

I went for gloss black interlagos on my night blue gt, pics are on here if you search my posts

I like the stealthy look of them and they're not too bad to keep clean & a small pot of gloss black touch up paint keeps them fresh looking if they do get marked from kerbs

Decided to go for something between silver and black... looked at a few examples and decided on 'black chrome' which is basically a glossy dark silver between OEM and gunmetal.

I think it should look good without being too OTT!?
