Definately darker IMO. Either anthracite, or gloss/satin black?

Its hard to get a nice anthracite finish on wheel ive found, some look too red and some green.

After owning a couple if Integras in the past ive decided the shade they have from factory is best.

I think its called Kiaser, if you like it i can get the exact code, heres a set of wheels sprayed in the paint -

A mid to darkish grey will look best against the silver similar to the TDs Mr Pound had on his mk6.
I had black wheels on my silver GTI for a while and it didn't look right.

I'm really liking the colour of the wheels on that white A4 - that looks very nice - Cant say ive ever seen black wheels that look nice, my main gripe being that they just dont look right cos of the black tyres
