Any suggestion for color on these vintage aluminum mage wheels?

I bought a set of 8.25" Western Turbines to replace the Western Turbines currently on my beater truck......Reason being what's currently on the rears are B/A 9.75", so tires are way too expensive. Bonus of the replacement wheels is the version can take push through hub cap, so suitable options are many and they come cheap.

I've already blown $180 to have the wheels media blasted, someone had done a poor paint job, but boy did it stick. I was going to mount them as is, but they probably deserve a finish coat. I don't want to take the time to polish and clear coat.

Guy will powder coat these for $160. Any color suggestions for these righteous wheels for this mess of a truck? It really is a beater, most "luxuries" like heat, headlights, fuel gauge and wipers don't work or they don't work well - and I don't care I'm leaning toward argent silver or gray of some sort.

First pic is what's currently on the truck. Second of the replacements.

Thanks
