what color should i paint my FD RIMS????

i have a 1990 GTUs BLAZE RED turbo swapped.

and i just came up on 2 sets off fd rims for a really good price..

soo im going to use one set as street rims and the other for track..

soo im wondering, since my car is blaze red, what color should i paint the rims.

i was thinking maybe bronze for one set, and something crazy for the track set(something bright, maybe neon just for the hell of it,..)

i dont wanna do black, every one does that..

any ideas?

Well i said black but you dont wanna do that cause it's to common.... so i would say either bronze like the other guy said. Go neon pink for your track set, or green and make it look like christmas, rofl
