Default opinions please. anthracite or standard???

i have a bit of a dilemma going on. im soon to be treating the RS focus to a full respray of the wheels. the lacquer has gone a bit shitty and there are one or two marks soim going to get them professionally reconditoned. i am also considering changing the colour of them. i do love white wheels on the ford blue cars so thought of that but have been told it will be way too much hassle to keep clean. the other idea is anthracite. im a real fan of this colour. i have blacked out lights on the back and i think they would go well on the car. there is an RS focus around here with black wheels but i think they look terrible. the other option is standard. standard is a safe bet but the anthracite will make it a little more unique??? if i could have some opinions from the ford RS community it would be really useful to me. thank you very much.

I think anthracite will look really good, it will make it stand out from the rest.
