1 the darker shade of gray, like some of the R wheels
2 all white
3 body color spokes with silver lip

I think replacing or painting over the old center caps is a must. The black center caps are not working.

I think those would look good with the spokes painted but leave the lip silver OR find a shop that can polish the lip and paint the spokes black ... the 2 will offset each other!

Anthricite is the darker silver color. I wouldn't go black, to stark. The lip in silver and the spokes the color of the car might look good. If you decide to do that I would have them professionally painted so they can bake the paint on.
