I agree. A good metallic grey and polishing the trim would look good on your car.

I'm going to be painting the inserts in my IROC rims soon too. I'll be going with either graphite or black. I think those colors offer good contrast with the polished parts.

Are you painting just the inserts or are you looking to paint the spokes as well?
