As long as you're keeping those wheels and since the car has a black interior with dark tinted windows, my vote's for black.

The pictures looks dark so the black wheels look good on it there, but I'm not a fan of black wheels. Chrome/silver imo is best.

I would stick with silver or a Hyber black/gunmetal type finish.

I'm not a fan of black wheels at all.

All three look good to me. I would actually go with chrome/polished. The first SC I ever saw was a mint condition Garnet Pearl SC300 with chrome wheels and it looked amazing.

Or you could try a brushed silver with a chrome lip as well.

Keep them coming ... let's see which combination would be liked by most .

I am keeping the Chrome lips ... it is just the spokes and the small ring around with bolts that I might change color . And I am torn between these 3 colors .

Here are pictures of how wide the chrome lips are. They are staggered

If i had to change, I'd change to black. I would not change them though. They look great as is.

Many will disagree but I think PlastiDip is a great solution for wheels. At least temporarily. You get to really see different looks. If you find one you love, you can peel the dip and powder coat that color. If you apply it properly, it's pretty easy to get off.

PS, There was a guy on the FB SC group that had white wheels. It may sound crazy but this car looked AMAZING! Everyone loved it, not just me. The car was the same color as yours and the entire wheel was white. If i can find pics, ill post them.

So far this is all I can find picture wise..

SumThaiGuy had some SICK silver wheels on a red car and traded for some really nice white ones..

I'll find the white ones he swapped to.

Black has been done to death...

Silver is just so...boring.

But that gold with a chrome lip...on a garnet car. Timeless classic.

every since i've been into cars i've not been a fan of black wheels, simply because i lose the detail in the wheels, aka just my .02. But i love the way the black with chrome lip looks in that pic.
