Similar to the anthracite I was considering... Looks really sweet with a polished lip, like this:

Black center with polished lip. Not done very well, need to get them redone, someday.

Whats that cost(ish)? Not sure if I like the gloss black or a more flat black more.... Can they do a more matte finish with the powder coat? (I think) you've had a few sets of these, how do you prep them for refinishing?

I masked off the lip and soda blasted the set for Sandy's Ravenna car. Then I polished the outer lip, brought them into the kitchen and put them in the dish washer to get rid of the compound and soda dust. It cost $ 300.00 to get them powder coated. I had the rear lip and the back of the wheel center done also. This should help with brake dust removal. I had them done in gloss black again so it would be easier to clean.
I have a set I bought from Travis off his car he posted in this thread. He went 5 bolt. They are painted now but I am going to the same thing to this set for the Raspberry car.

Votes aren't even close! I'm surprised that silver/anthracite is so far behind...
So, then the question becomes, if black, gloss or matte (with a highly polished lip on a freshly painted silver teener)?
