what colour wheels?

I picked up a set of 18" Cargraphic 3 pc racing wheels.
I'm not sure what colour to paint the centre's.
Do I go with the usual silver or should I try body colour (Lapis), gun metal grey or how about gold (I'm told it's the new black)
All input appreciated.
Cheers,
Stan

I'd say silver or black.

Agreed with Barebones on painting it lapis, I don't think that looks nice. Also, gold on black cars or white cars look good, I'm not too sure about on Lapis.. Post a pic of your ride!

It might help everyone visualize...

I'd say silver for your lapis car. I love black wheels, but I'm not sure how they'd look on a lapis car though...

I will also say leave it silver, it has the contract with lapis blue. Another options is GT silver which is the Turbo S wheels colour. I've refinished my Audi winter wheels in GT silver and they look really nice!
