From personal experience gunmetal looks like silver wheels that are filthy with brake dust. I'd stay away. I think you should go for a brushed finish, but if it has to be black, don't go for the matte look.

The black wheels in this thread look insane:

They both would look good. Matte if you want that sporty mean look. GM if you want something sporty but still keep it a little classy

Matte black for sure, black out the rest of the car to carry out the theme.

Black! I had gunmetal OEM 18"s, and just had them powder coated black. Both looked nice, but black looks better with AW, IMO.
