Rim color?

I have a red ralliart and i am goin to powder coat my rims soon. The only problem is that i dont know what color i should paint them. I got three choices that i want to paint them. I want to paint them bronze, black, or gun metal. Im leaning more towards the bronze since not to many cars have bronze rims but i love black rims. What color should i get?

Bronze on red would look crappy IMO....I think of the options, gun metal would probably look the best. Although, on a red car I think the brushed look (stock) looks good. But it is your car.

Red and bronze would look nice! I think there's pictures of a red evo with bronze volks and it looked badass.

As far as the gun metal and black rims go, to someone just driving down the road, it would just look like dirty wheels. I wouldn't choose those. BUT, I really don't like bronze on red. If I HAD to choose. I would probably go with gun metal.

I think bronze goes with any color other than yellow. I've seen it on enough cars and it looks clean on just about any stock paint scheme. Then again, that's IMO and I like take the road less traveled.

Bronze can look nice or rice. I think the color of the vehicle has a lot to do with it. The bright blue STI's and the black one's look nice with bronze rims. Everyone has their own tastes.

I think black cars look absolutely incredible with bronze wheels. But we're talking about a red ralliart here... I say gunmetal.

Just wondering what it might cost to get your wheels professionally powercoated? I can't imagine that 16" wheels cost all that much money.
