I've always liked fewer colors. I wouldn't want whels in a color that didn't tie to something else. The car already has a lot of black so I'd lean toward black...despite my age.

With that color, black is the only choice. The gunmetal would look awesome as the body color. But on the wheels it just looks drab. Almost destroys the look.

Personally, I think the stock wheels are the best wheels I've ever seen on a Stang. I would simply stick with them. In fact, I would prefer a little bit more gloss to them...but they're really sharp looking, IMOP.
My vote is this. Stock wheels and more gloss or even more silver. However, there isn't a bad choice IMO for what you are looking for.

I just got out of a four year relationship with gloss black wheels and red Brembo calipers. Never again. Spent half of my life trying to keep them clean. You think that gloss black would hide brake dust, but it doesn’t. A day after a wash they start looking crappy again. I got carbonized gray on my 2024, and I love them. Clean or dirty, they pretty much look the same.

it really depends on your feelings about brake dust. the Dark Horse brake pads shed so, so much dust even over the course of a week. gloss black wheels will start showing dust after about 3 or 4 days. 1 week and its bad, 2 weeks and it looks like it did before they were cleaned.

if you dont mind the brake dust: gloss black
if you do mind the brake dust: gunmetal or factory

here are some real-world examples with my gloss black wheels. i drive around 300 miles per week

after cleaning

worth noting that the before cleaning wheel was last cleaned at that point more than 2 or 3 weeks ago

In another poll, most of us wash our vehicles weekly or more lol and many don’t drive them except great weather weekends. OP, If you fit this category, then the brake dust might not be a factor. And then there are those that change the pads to one’s that have less dust. Something to consider.

I feel this picture is a perfect example of how a black wheel just disappears into the tire.

A gloss gunmetal would pop against your color, the calipers and a nice shiny black tire.
Your Brushed Titanium killed it ! looks really good
