What colour GTA rims on a black Camaro??

I have a set of gold GTA rims on my black Camaro and was thinking of polishing the rims and painting the centres but cannot decide on either black, gunmetal grey or maybe even a dark silver. What's gunna look the best?

The car is all black, no stickers, decals etc...

Gold looks "alright" but i honestly think if you paint them black and polish the outer rim they would look so much better, especially since its going on a black camaro

My personal opinion--I love an all black T/A or Camaro--especially when it's nice and clean and at night!

Those silver ones don't look too bad! But my votes for the black ones.

I think that's just a shadow-it was very sunny that day.
I know it wasn't GTA wheels on the Camaro--but it was so damn nice looking--the all black theme that I just had to post it.

Black GTA rims.

Black wins I think but those silver ones look alright too!

What's the best way to remove the clear coat from the rims so I can polish em?

Anymore good photos of black Camaros with black GTA's?

depending on what you wanna do, if you wanna take off all the gold paint and the clear coat etc, then use some paint stripper "Aircraft Remover" or if you just wanna do the border use some 180 grind wet/dry sandpaper i belive, that will take the clearcoat right off, heres a link from polishing those rims.
