New color on 788M wheels, what should it be?

788M wheels which will be in the role of "Set #3", basically a backup track set, set that will be on the car in winter while vehicle is stored, and maybe see a few days of street use if looking to change things up.

Currently have Matte Black 763 and Satin Black Apex VS-5RS as the main wheels in use.

Please excuse the formatting of the cell phone screen shots.

1)Hyper Black (almost like a deep dark grey / black chrome look)
2)Bronze of some sort
3)A cool royal blue color

Looking to have some fun with this set as its simply an extra set of wheels, what do you think?

From those choices I'd go with bronze.
You have enough Black's, the blue might go well with a heavily custom build but tricky.
For me personally, the typical bronze feels a bit too "rusty"- something in between Frozen Gold and Satin Bronze is what I'd go for.

Porsche's neodyme fits perfect for me

I'm always a fan of bronze wheels, so that's my vote. I think someone else did the 788 in bronze.

I would have them painted, not powder coated, and go for Porsche Platinum Satin (0b5) or if you want glossy, the dark wheel color from the Carrera T, Felgen Titan Dunkel Met (0c6)
