I agree the 19's do look great and anthracite would be my color of choice with hyper blue....
Personally and this is my opinion only...i was going to go with athracite as well. However after being able to see the brushed clear on my car, I am liking the brushed better as it contrasts off the blue better. The athracite in my opinion gets drowned out by the HBM. In most lighting you cant see the design of the wheel as much. With Serper3's choice, athracite will look perfect as it contrasts with all the white of the car. Although, brushed clear looks awesome on his car too but some contrast (athracite) will bring out the wheels a lot.

Another reason i am going with brushed clear is that i plan on getting the finish re-done down the line to a darker tint. APEX wheels are painted and not powder coated so I plan on having my buddy who owns a body shop scuff them then spray a dark tinted clear on it to get the below finish.
