Default Suggest a "silver" color for wheels?

I am refinishing these deep dish BMW wheels. I wanted to polish the lips and powder the centers but since they are 1 piece that would be a lot of work and hassle. So, I was hoping for something with some shine, but not cheap looking.

Here are the wheels as they formerly existed:



They were "machine polished" with a clear coat... which wasn't very polished looking, just shiny. So, if I do the wheel as a whole, what do you guys recommend to have some shine on the lips and centers without being a chrome look? I'd prefer a single coat powder.

Please post pics - I browsed the gallery but its hard to find much.
