Help me decide what color to paint my wheels.

I have been thinking about this for a day or so and I cannot decide what I want. So help me. And dont give me that crap about "Its your car, do what makes you happy." I want your opinion.

Black, will be with a clearcoat most likely, or at least gloss.

Yes, I thought about that. I have no idea why I didnt put that up there. I have wanted white wheels for the longest time. I will photoshop that now.

bronze looks nice almost like the ones on the subarus.

i'd go with a dark color but not black. to me graphite looks nice and will blend in with the brake dust so you don't have to worry about keeping them clean.

do you plan on keeping the red for ext. color? cuz red doesnt go well with every color. i vote:
white, no. silver...maybe. the white pulls too much attention from the car. i think the silver and black looks best. black looks like steelie until stopped, so bronze looks best rolling and parked

I say you should go with black and have some sort of red accent to match the exterior color of the car.
