What color should I repaint these?

I am going to be repainting these wheels which i just bought..... they are going on my white FC. I have pondered a few different ideas but I can't make up my mind. Some might call this rice, but i am leaning towards a Kelly Green for the spokes or Red... but at the same time, white or gold spokes would look good. what does everyone else think?

I personally feel on a white car, you have a good amount of choices...black, gun metal, a dark hyper or light hyper, silver, gold, light bronze, dark bronze, but please stay away frpm anything bright of color. That does not include chrome though, chrome would look nice also...

i really don't want to go with a black or gunmetal just because it has been done over and over and over again.

gunmetal gray

but in all reality, do what you want, you are the person who will be driving it, and as a result as long as you are happy, who cares what anybody else thinks (unless they are extremely shallow with low self esteme)

that super silver the SSR SP1 comes in, not gray not silver but uh, different and NICE!

or maybe a deep deep blue would be cool, with a little bit of metal flake and tons of clearcoat.

dont do green or red. ugh. overkill to be different.

you could do gold on one side of the car and polished on the other side.... DOPE!

powder coating would be better, but you have to remove the tires.

luckily they are 3 piece wheels so disassembling them won't be a problem.

That pic makes me vote gold- no question.
Gold w/polished lip on a white FC= high drool factor.

if you paint your wheels red, you'll just look like every other honda tuner who has red wheels and a polished lip.
