Your opinion on a color & wheel scheme

After I rebuild my engine I want to get a paint job, new set of wheels, & good fitment. I got a couple set ups in mind I'd like to get some opinions on.

1) Satin black with a gold 5 spoke wheel with polished aluminum lip.
2) Sky blue with hyper silver xxr 002s. (on a budget dudes)
3) Satin creamy tan color with black xxr 002s.

Here's a couple pics of my fc, currently has no spoiler because it's just a bit tacky IMO.

Satin black will just look like a boring primered car.

Satin cream would probably look kinda primer-y too, and black wheels are a no-no on a light coloured car.

Best bet is the blue and silver, nicest combo out of those 3 in my opinion. Good wheel contrast.

It looks fine the way it sits, but the blue & silver would work nice or maybe a gunmetal grey with silver wheels.

Getting tires that fill your wheel gap would make your car look ten times better.

I'd definitely go for the satin black, if the paint job is done correctly it'll give it a way better look than just primer. the gold rims sounds good too, I'd consider bronze though with satin black
