Default Poll before spring time

So as the warm weather Chicago has to offer approaches I am getting the itch to either get a new car or mod mine. Since I am NOT trying to get another car loan I figured I paint my car, get new wheels and such. Seeing alot of nice cars here on CL makes my wallet want to lose some weight so here it goes:

I have a Desert Sand Mica GS400. Problem is that I have always liked the brushed aluminum with polished-lip look. Do you think my car will look right with a set of wheels like these (anyone have pics of this set-up) OR should I just paint the damn car a midnight blue of some sort? I know wheels will def look great on that color. Since my interior is Beige I know it wont stick out like a sore thumb with a Dk Blue exterior.

I think I know what I want to do but still have a few thoughts loungin' in my head. Now I have asked these thoughts to leave my head nicely but they have refused to go. This is where you guys kick in.

I think you should keep it the color it is and get the brushed aluminum wheels in 19's. Honestly, I was thinking about getting your color if I didn't find the one I have now. There are not many cars in your color that makes it uncommon imo, that's another reason I like my color. Stay with it man.

Just get the wheels you like, getting a factory paint quality as nice as you already have will be super costly.

I agree, just go with the wheels you like. Nothing impacts the look of a car more than a nice set of wheels and a drop

I just talked to my car and she was crying because she was receiving soo much support from CL. Anyone out there think they could chop up a pic for me? let me find a nice pic so I can see what it would look like.
