Will gold Gta wheels look good?

Hey everyone,
Looking for your opinion on what I should do with the wheels on my Formula. It currently has Gta wheel on it and they are painted red to match the cars paint. The red is somewhat faded and is starting to look more like pink. So this winter while its in storage im going to polish/repaint the wheels. I was considering repainting the wheels the original gold that Gta wheels came in and getting black WS6 center caps. I think it would look really good with my red paint because its very similar to the factory pontiac red. Let me know what you think! And if you think I should repaint the wheels back to orignal gold any tips on where to buy the paint or what color it is?
THANKS

Mine were originally gold and I painted them black. If your car was bright red I'd say black, but with the darker red the gold will look really sharp.
