What color for these rims?

These rims came on my '83 Z-28 when i bought it last year. I have since finished repainting the entire car, removing stripes and badges, and painting the gfx the same color as the body.

I was just wondering what color I should paint the rims, or would they look better just polished down to the bare metal with a few coats of clear coat?

Also, does anyone know what rims these are?

thanks

Polish them or paint the middle of the rim, black or some darker color.

My first suggestion is to get new rims. If that's not possible due to your $ situation, I'd say sand 'em down and paint them a matt silver. Good luck.

I'd polish the outer rim, paint the center/spokes area a dark silver/charcoal color.

Pink and green?

...oh I get it, ...they were jokin'
