Rim color dilemma.

So I've had these rims on my car for about a year now, I'm personally sick of them, so I figure I'll paint them. They are a gunmetal color right now with a silver lip, but I want something new, but yet match my Captiva Blue color nicely. Something subtle but appealing. I was thinking either black or a darker shade of gunmetal, since its a very light shade of gunmetal now. Here's a picture.



So the question is, what color should I paint them? a friend said red. A little too JDM for me lol. Maybe silver with a blue lip? GIMME IDEAS!

p.s. - im getting a set of Advan knock offs in a couple months :)

Bronze would look good, but is more over done them my ex girlfriends cooking.... i'd go with a darker gunmetal.

its funny that everyone said bronze minus 2 people, cause afteri typed this, i thought maybe a bronze would be nice. im thinking thats what i might end up going with. on summit, where i got the picture, it says theyre a 2 piece rim, but i dont think mine are. it looks like the bolts around it are fake. any sure-fire way of knowing?

one thing i'm gonna point out, is if you are getting the Advan knock off's then i'd probably leave the wheels the way they are

I personaly don't think bronze would look good on that style of wheel. Darker gunmetal or black would look better. But its up to you.

I'm probably gonna end up selling these after i get the advan knock offs. theyre a little curbed up, and i was top dollar for them. theyre most likely going to help fund a lip and 1 pieces. my girlfriend is gonna buy me coilovers with her tax refund. :)
