I've always liked the look of any combination of gray and black, regardless of which color is the body and which is the interior. My only suggestion (aside from at least some punctuation ) would be to keep a polished lip on the rims, no matter if you paint them black or gunmetal. And yes, you can paint any ol' rim you care to.

I love the stock gunmetal color so I'd vote against painting it plain black. But I would say to color match the wheels to the body.

Black with a grey interior looks good on anything

If it were my car I'd keep it gunmetal, tint the windows (10-20%), get the wheels painted/powdercoated body color and have a black leather interior. Black roll bar would accent that nicely as well. Then any under hood appearence mods would look real nice in brushed aluminum or silvers.

Keep the gunmetal. All black interiors look great, especially with tinted windows.
