Default Need some advice on the AG F542

Most of you guys know, aesthetics are kinda last on my list of upgrades for my car.Anyways, I fell upon this opportunity and for the first time in the history of ever, I'm buying an aesthetic piece.... F@ck, I already lied. I bought those Carbon Signal vented fenders... Wife didn't like them... Anyways So I'm in the process of ordering custom F542 wheels and wanted to get some opinions. There were 0 pictures to go off of outside of other wheels based off the same design. Please let me know if my offsets are wrong, or if anything looks off.. Thanks.So I'll break down what I have so far...

Based on Swift Springs drop, flush with the body running a full size tire, no stretch or extra thin tires. 265/35/19 or 275/35/19 and 305/30/19s are what I'm looking at.

Avant Garde F542's: F542 - Avant Garde Wheels - AG Form - Concave 3PC

Fronts: 19x10 ET +30
Rears: 19x11 ET +13

The barrel is stepped with a smoke mirror finish, same with the rear barrel
The center is concave and either technica titanium or black brushed nickel.
The center cap is smoke mirror finish
The hardware is magma red, matching the car.

I'm looking for opinions on the hardware and which finish to have the center (spokes) done in...

Below are examples of the finishes.

Technica Titanium:


Black Brushed Nickel:


Smoke mirror stepped lip with colored hardware and technica titanium center:


Below is a wheel similar to what I'm ordering. Use the spoke design for reference:
F242 - Avant Garde Wheels - AG Form - Reverse Lip 3PC
