Wheels to go with Sonic Blue
I got the body work done on my car and now it is in need of new wheels/suspension. I am strongly leaning towards gunmetal for the color. As far as specific wheels I would love a set of Gram Light 57 series wheels but they are discontinued. I like the 5zigen FN01R-C's but they don't come in gunmetal. My leading wheel that is available in gunmetal and still in production is the Work CR Kai's.
I know it is up to me what wheels I choose, I would just like to get some opinions/suggestions in case I haven't looked at a certain wheel.
A picture for reference....

Dont have any ideas for you, there are just too many choices. car looks sick as hell though. you might want to get a splatter shield or defuser to direct the air through the radiator though. i can see some colling issues waiting to happen. oil cooler could use ducting as well

Don't go with gold. Gold and blue is played out IMO.
I highly recommend aggresive looking wheels with aggresive offset to match your aggresive look.
A few wheels that will go with your car:
Volk TE-37
Volk RE-30
Work XD-9
Weds Sports SA-67R
SSR Type-F
SSR Profesor MS-1
SSR Profesor SP-R
Enkei RPF01 (getting played out too but looks good)
Enkei NT03+M (This wheels can look AWESOME with the right offset)
The last 2 you may have to get custom powder coated to get the color you want.

That bodykit needs aggressive and racey wheels not pretty wheels imo. Go with something black, bronze or white. Maybe you can look at D-cups RX7 for inspiration. Also something like Work XD9 would go with that bodykit.
Whatever you do please fix that gap between the bottom of the intercooler and the bumper.
