KS what color wheels?

I picked up a set of 14x6 +10 Weds Autobahns to go on my fb. The car is Sunrise Red with a targa band and imsa wrap around spoiler. The wheels are gold... not gonna work with the red, black and silver color scheme I have now. The question is what color to paint the centers, I am leaning toward black centers and clear coated chrome lip. What do you all think?

I really don't like dark colours on mesh wheels myself, doesn't let you see the complexities of the mesh. I have bronze meshies on my silver FB.

I know red and gold works and I love that 80's look, but, Im thinking gold will NOT work with the silver targa band... at least thats what my primitive fashion sense tells me (don't mix metals). I am worried about black because it will wash out the details, however, silver accents on the black might look awesome. I may try gunmetal first to see how it looks.

Targa

Why not consider changing the targa band to match the wheels?
