Thumbs up Champagne GS on painted wheel request

So,

I have been searching for ideas on wheel colors, I bought a set of oem wheels I will be repainting and I know the common colors are silver, graphite, black but I cant find many examples of a champagne GS on colored wheels. I found posts but pics are dead =/, does anyone have a pic or links showing some thing different like vibrant gold, bronze, black chrome, blue something. The only pics I was able to find are below so I got an idea but if someone has them on stock painted wheels or any wheels it would be much appreciated.

I have benz blue type tint so I am leaning towards a dark blue chrome (if that exists) just trying to have fun with my DD and I want a sport sedan vibe to it.

Thanks Thomas but that's where I got my reference pics from. I feel like I am just going to have to do it and hope that I like the outcome

Just out of sole curiosity; no interest in purchasing aftermarket wheels? Not sure you will be happy with the outcome of blue, factory wheels.

At this moment I am doing a budget build, got some rx wheels dirt cheap, eventually I wouldnt mind some aftermarket wheels but I got a g37x that also needs some love and on that it will def be aftermarket. This is more a project DD, and I want to test the waters, a nice copper or bronze is also a good consideration.

The Photoshop Forum is where you need to be. Post the wheels and car along with colors, ask nicely, and someone may take a few minutes and put together a picture of what you are attempting to do.

I didn't know there was a forum like that, I already did my own "photoshop" but blue isn't going to fly with this color unless its super dark almost black, thanks for the 411 though

Gold and black ain't my thing but I'm thinking gold with gunmetal grey will be a killer.
