hehe it was an open discussion! Ummm Red...Black would definately go with red, white if you like that sort of thing...green would be very wrong LOL I honestly think black, i know its probably the obvioos choice but for a good reason!

Leave them gold.
Black wheels look awful. If you must change the colour then anthracite.

What wheels do you have on? Some wheels look better in certain colours.
