Pewter's great. I'd keep it.
Makes you stick out less.
However, I cannot say my car is Pewter. Paint code says "Pewter", however it's truly SSM and I love it. I realized that when I was getting touch up paint and "GM Pewter" was more gold-ish looking. I don't know how some manufacturer's can label 9,000 colors the same name when in reality there are so many different shades through the years and vehicles. There's no "set" color code that matches each one.
So, in terms of individuality, no Pewter's are the same. I like that. Plus, it looks clean even when it's dirty, and looks amazing when cleaned up. (Blackfire Wet Diamond) Not to mention, it won't fade like darker colors.
If I was to repaint, there's no other obvious choice than Hugger Orange. Not worth a full repaint cost though, unfortunately.

Nice wheels man, they looks awesome. And you may have already decided, but I also say PEWTER. At first I was gonna buy a black one but then I saw one that was pewter and never looked at the black one again.
