Default What Color Wheels on 99 Gold GS300

I'm having a really hard time trying to determine what color wheels I should get for my Gold GS300. I'm thinking of going with an 18" black wheel, since I have dark tint on the windows. Maybe a light tint on the front and rear lights as well?

Here is the wheel I was contemplating, thoughts??
Wheel is 18" x 8" +35, not sure what size tires fit with H&R Sport Springs, Maybe a 245/45 18.

Put on whatever damn wheels you want and tell the haters to go cry in their Junction Produce pimp cups. I think silver/hyper black looks best on a gold GS. I have a gold GS and I don't think black wheels would look good on it.

Yeah, I may go with a lighter color.
What are thoughts on this one?

it's a 18x8 with a +38 offset. Should fit pretty well.

You should try a bronze colored wheel or even gold. Look at Works VV-xs in gold or Volk TE-28 in bronze, just for reference

Brushed aluminum face with high polish lip.

I just saw this in the wheel classified but they are 19" so tires cost could be expensiive. At least $1200 for some good brand for this setup.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I ended up going with the following wheels in an 18x8 +35. Will look into spacers if these are not as flush as I would like them to be.
