Default Need opinion on wheels. . . . .

Looking at wheels for the 3KGT. I really want to put 18's or 19's on the car. I just cannot figure out which color to go with. The car is getting a repaint after the first of the year (Red again since original is red)
She wants chrome, I say no chrome, been there done that back in 94.
I am looking at Gunmetal or possibly Bronze but dont' know if i can pull of the bronze with this color red. (like a burnt orange/red mixture) Thoughts

Imho gold works better with a light red than bronze does. But gunmetal with a polished lip, while sorta played, works best (imho again).
