Default My Saff wheels, silver or dark?????

I have had a problem with my Saff for the past year or so, I try my best to clean the wheels EVERY weekend, yet STILL I get LOADS of brake dust that has bedded right into the wheels, and nothing seems to get it off. When the wheels are dark because of this, I think "That looks quite nice like that actually "

As they really need a refurb again now, because of all the embedded brake dust, should I get them done silver again, or darker/black?


I'm worrying if I get them done silver again, the same will just happen again

I've got a pic of how it looks now:



That was last year, and obviously the wheels are different now due to the brake dust

Here's a photoshopped pic of the wheels done dark:



This photoshop is truely rubbish I know, but if someone could photoshop it again in the same colour as Doug Stirling's wheels, I'd appreciate it VERY much!!


Thankyou!

PS, I hope you don't mind Doug, I did PM about the wheels a long time ago, and your photobucket account is locked now so I can't get to your pics!

This is the best I can seem to get to Doug's colour after a quick go:
