its hard to say...I am doing mine in gunmetal, but my car is white and soon to be orange. Yours is black and that might be to much black.....maybe you could go with gunmetal like me? That might look pretty good. I found a pic of a silver one that someone did:

Heres a mock up of gunmetal rims like you said. Not the best but it was a 30 second job.
IMO = Ugly.....keep the gold

Yeah I just love how these cars look after a fresh detail. This kinda makes me wish my car was black instead of the arrest me red it is now.

I'm thinking of converting the GTA wheels from gold to black while I'm doing the suspension work. What do you guys think of this idea?

I just saw a black GTA today on a flat bed....and guess what...it had black GTA wheels on it!!! They looked actually pretty good. Well to be honest they looked real good. Maybe black is the way to go for you. I know I wouldnt want it with my white car or even when it gets painted orange. Good luck on figuring out what you are going to do lol. Just not the red

I'd do the stock style gunmetal/charcoal color. Looks almost black. Something looks weird about the gold on those wheels though. They stock paint? I hate gold....

i dont know what this craze is all about taking black cars and hell any cars and painting the wheels black...its ugly (IMO)...anywhere outside of 10 feet and it looks like your showboating around on new steel wheels
unless your running a polished lip with a nice zinc plated rotor and caliper painted ....exnay on the blackay
