Question New Rims... Which paint?

Im confused as to which color to paint my car. If I get it the same color I could paint it for a lot cheaper (I could go with a darker red so I dont have to paint the door jams and what not). But White with a black top looks awesome . Here are my rims. You know what they are.

Need coilovers

and spacers






What do you think?

I was gonna do the white with black roof like you said, but then I changed my mind and decided I'm going to paint my car a dark purple sometime in the near future

I know thats why im thinking just going with the same color. You know what I should just wait until my coilovers get in before jumping on the decision about the paint. I might just rebuild my motor before I paint. Im just exploring my options.

The purple I want is midnight purple 3, but I dont know if the paint will be really expensive due to it being a rare color, but I'll settle for mp or mp2

I love the color Mediteranian Blue. Nissan used it only in 96. Some lights its blue.. other lights its totally purple. Its a sweet color.. and its a stock color..so should be cheaper.
