Default HELP! What colour wheels?

Just bought a set of 17inch 2001> WRX rims, they are in perfect nick and I'm going to spray them myself.

WHICH COLOUR PLEASE? Gold or Gloss Black?
and calipers colours too please?

Pic of car below, its Nissan Skyline Midnight Purple and looks purple/black/dark blue in different light.



Maybe if anyone is any good at photoshopping?!

Cheers in advance.

Thanks.
The spoiler was imported from europe by the previous owner. I'm unsure of the name unfortunately.

I am not certain on the red to be honest, but would make a lovely contrast with matt black wheels, a really nice blue on the calipers would be nice, or even if you can get a colour match same as car

Bob, yes I dont agree it will spoil it to be honest, but we'll see.

Danny, yes thats me. Will get more pics on a better day, and when new wheels are on!

I was thinking about doing the calipers dark purple like the car, that would be nice.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. much appreciated

I'm planning on getting started on these 2moro, looks like black is getting the better opinion at the moment?

Lee, the colour shows up very nicely in the sun, you can clearly see the red/purple metalflake glittering away.

I would go with a black finish. I did a quick photoshop for you. I tried giving one of the wheels a chrome lip, but all black gets my vote.

Just put some Bronze wheels on my P1 this morning. Not sure they will be to everyones taste, but I wanted to try something a little 'different' to the norm.

(still keeping the original 18's incase I change my mind!! )

Ps...excuse the 4x4 suspension/arch gap, the jack had just been removed, and the suspension hadn't settled yet!)
