Default ST170 wheel refurb. What colour?

Im going to get the wheels refurbed as they are pretty pitted now. I was thinking of possibly a colour change but im not sure. Its a grey 5 door.

Anyone got and pictures of different colour ST170 wheels fitted to focus'?

Stick to the original colour mate.

Other than that anthracite is a pretty nice wheel colour

It was not Hi-Power silver i had it was flash chrome as the centre caps from ford cannot be powder coated because they are plastic with very thin metal applied to the front. As standard these caps do not match the standard wheel colour anyway because they are a diamond cut effect finsh, flash chrome means they will at last be a much closer match to the standard caps. Had the call to pick them up this afternoon, will post pics, hope they are not too bling as that was not what i was after lol.
just got to order new caps now
