Pics: Battleship Gray vs Anthracite wheels on AW? Whats your opinion

Thoughts and opinions on battleship gray vs anthractice on AW - I appreciate both for what they are - the anthracite for being more conservative and OEM (if you will) and the battleship for subtle but unique...here are a couple examples:

I like the battleship because it is unique like you said, but I like the anthracite on Alpine white more because of the contrast.

Battleship looks better on the AW. I love the Anthracite (which is what I bought) but on a darker car.

thats what I am struggling with a bit - I have gloss black now - had them on my AW before I had it wrapped in in matte gunmetal metallic - and while I like the black with the cars current color while it was white I wasn't a huge fan - my fear is the anthracite will be too close to the gloss black / ps - not hating on the storm trooper look - I like it - its just not currently for me

I think the anthracite looks classier and more expensive.
