Go with silver or a light metallic blue. Black would look good as well.

Red to match centers or a silver. I like the other color suggestions but think they might look too "sporty". Your car strikes me as more sophisticated or elegant than sporty.

Anything but red, yellow, or blue... That chrome dip looks pretty snazzy if you ask me.

Chrome dipped should be easy to clean. Polished you have to do a little maintenance every 6 months, depending on how shiny you want it to be all the time. I didn't touch mine for almost 8 months and they still looked ok, but the shine was kinda dull. I use mother's aluminum polish and they go back to being fly
