Default Painting Rims. Suggestions

Hello there,
This is my first post. Im deciding to paint my rims on my black 2000 Honda Civic SI. I have the Enkei PKR's and I was thinking of painting them either gold,bronze or gunmetal. My car is black so what color should I go with, either gunmetal, bronze or gold? I already decided to go with the dupli-color wheel paint and primer.

Heres a few pictures of my rims on the car for perspective. And can someone perhaps photoshop my pictures with either gold,bronze, or gunmetal rims so I can see what they will look like..:





Thanks and can someone please direct me to the best rim painting tutorial you have.

leave them the color they are

they look fine from the horrible shots of them you provided ... and the wheel-paint isnt a perfect product, you dont want to go screwing up a set of rims you payed good money for

On black, I think both Bronze and Gunmetal look good.
