Default red scooby, what colour wheels

hi, I have a red classic uk turbo which currently has silver sti 5 spokes on it.
I want to change the wheel colour but im undecided, initially thought of gold? my lad is saying black, but I don't really like black wheels, I was thinking possibley gun metal grey / anthracite colour.

are the any owners of red classics out there that can post up pics of their cars with wheels in any colour other than silver, just to give me an idea.

gold is still at the forefront of my thoughts, but id like to see what other colour combinations work

thanks

Gold gets my vote - the black doesn't really stand out.

I can see why, but I don't want the modified look, and I tend to think black wheels shout out, " hard/ modified" plus until close up you can really see the definition of the wheel, you could have some really nice wheels, but from a distance you might as well have some black Halfords wheel trims on.
I know its each to their own and certain body colours suit a particular colour wheel, just wondering if there's anything else that suits?

If the black looks too modified and white is chavy, why not go for gunmetal..... But what ever you do don't go gold.... Wanna-be STI

i have anthracite/ dark grey wheels on my red classic, i have also had silver and gold, i didn't really like the gold but i think that was more to do with the style of the wheel.
