As it's almost time to change to summer wheels I've a mind to have the colour of my winters changed from silver.
To what though? With the body colour being Mineral White should they be Satin Black or Gloss Black or Gunmetal or Anthracite?

Has anyone experience of powder coating to change colour?

Got the wheels I use as winters powder coated black, did same on my previous car too, and Mrs car. Feels good changing the colour of the wheels every 6 months or so.

Gunmetal or anthracite both look good.
My winter wheels are 'matt titanium' apparently, but in reality are gunmetal.
Both colours will look good with white, without the OTT black wheels.
Other thing is both gunmetal and anthracite hide brake dust remarkably
