Personally, if I had a Dark Blue Mica (I wish! Had to settle for Royal Silver instead (may eventually save up for a full respray though), I'd spray them one of the lighter colours. I reckon black wheels on a dark blue car would look a little... odd.

Gun-metal and anthracite get my votes, assuming you don't want to go closer to silver. As for matt/gloss... how about satin?

Don't go black as would dirt never is 'black' but I think a dark grey would be spot on. No brown/bronze tint against blue IMO

Satin is between matt and gloss. Not dead like matt, but not reflective like gloss.

Anthracite for me...............

Personally, silver. Black can look nice and mean when you put them on, but I think in the long run, silver, or something in between may be better
