Default Color help! *where your opinion counts!*

Okay I am taking my SC to a show in august and I have been on a small mod rampage this week. The last thing I am doing for this week is painting my wheels. They are pretty basic 5 spoke rims nothing spectacular just getting me by for now. I am painting them Friday and I can not decide if I want to go White, Black, Bronze, or Gunmetal. My SC is black. I think too much black is over kill I dont care for the murdered look but I want the color to tastefully stick out. Any opinions? Im open to other colors. If you can post pics or links to pics I would LOVE the help. Black SC's though to help best decide. Thanks guys!

Don't paint, polish. You can stick out by having taste.

Well the previous owers of the car must have thought riding the curb was a sport so unfortunately that isnt an option. Today I spent all afternoon sanding and filling the gouges and prepping them for paint. These aren't end game wheels just something for now. So color is the only option, but which. I'm leaning towards white the most right now.

I agree with the previous post. Are your emblems silver or gold? If they are silver I say go gunmetal and if they gold I say go bronze.

it alll depends on wat style u are going for, IMO, depends on kit, hight, and wat ur taste is... i like chrome but i also like zachtriggs car with the teal rims... look his car up. but dont copy him he definitely looks like he knows some sort or martial art. look his post up. super sickness

edit: here you go, but if anyone asks u didnt get it from me.
