NOPE. Use your head, it is all a matter of your opinion. Try google images for help.

I picked up a set of 17" bronze finish ADR's off Ebay for about $400 shipped. Were I you I'd stick with something subdued for a car that's not bright, like Silver or Bronze finish instead of polished or chromed or gold. I like using TireRack's tool to see what looks good and then shop elsewhere for better prices.

Anything silver will work.
Gold will work also.
White will work also with the right design.

I HATE black centers cause you can't see the center design.

dont know specific rims, but if you could powdercoat the rims(usually a couple hundred around here) and match the color to the car. some people around here do that and it looks alright.

The 1993 Mr2 wheels look great. Maybe you should look into those. FD wheels, too, are very nice. Hmm...how about a set of ssr mesh? No wait..those are expen$ive. Try some 88-91 Supra rims.

Gawd. With a Dark maroon car you need a Brite Chrome wheel. Almost anything would look good.

No Gold or Bronze.

Talking

As was said earlier, it's all a matter of opinion. I happen to like bronze rims on dark red / maroon FCs.

They'd probably be pretty hot, for a $3,200 set of wheels.
