Keep them Anthracite, or paint them satin black?

Hey guys, as some of you may know I recently put some 18x9/18x10 anthracite FR500s on my car. I was thinking of having them painted a satin black, including the lip. The entire wheel would be black. I think it would look pretty mean on my car. I've seen it done to a guy near me with a white GT, and the finish looks awesome. It's flat black, but a little smoother and more refined. Let me know what you think.

Pic for inspiration:



Also, here is a before and after pic of my car. On the left is when I first got her, and on the right is how she stands today:

Hey Bud,

I honestly prefer the anthracite wheels. I'm honestly tired of the murdered out look and I think their current color sets off the black and shows off the rims.
