Opinion needed! Planning on painting my stock rims this weekend!

so everyone! I have this upcoming weekend off of work, so I was thinking that it is my perfect opportunity to paint my rims. the problem is that I'm still a little undecided on the color. My car is the pheonix red color and my ideal choice was glossy black and then painting the mitsu logo red. the color im really liking right now is graphite grey (or gunmetal grey) the 3rd possible choice is gold, but i think it might look a little too much for my car right now... I really need everyones input! these are stock rims and i am very undescive about this. maybe some photoshops can easily convince me! i dpont know if i have a really good recent pic of my car. if someone is willing to do a few photoshops, i will look for a pic!

as far as the process, i think i have it down, haha.

Too many people have done it black, do it graphite gray, and I say dont do the logo red in the middle looks ugly imo

You know my input already from the last time we met. Black is overrated. Be different PURPLE!

Don't do gold. Go with bronze.

Or teal.

IMO gold and black matches best with red, but I like gold more, then purple! White rims on red - ugly.
