Angry Impreza exterior, please help!

I have a 97 Subaru Impreza in mint condition. The existing colour on it is metallic maroon (dark red). Before I wanted to change the colour to white but since it is almost brand new (only 10,000 km) I decided to stick with the maroon paint. I have to admit, I'm starting to like it. Now come the problem... I don't know what colour the rims would look great on a metallic maroon 1997 impreza. Should I install sliver? Washed up gold? qold? gunmetal black? chrome???
I really don't know which colour is best.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Don't go gold - it never looks good on something this colour. Gunmetal would look quite nice IMO or perhaps a silver set with a polished rim

Hi mate, personally id go for black/matt black against maroon, it gives a nice contrast i think plus its a wee bit different, Konig make some really stunning rims or team dynamics pro race sries are very nice also.
Happy trails...

Go for Black Chrome. Its kind of a shiny anthracite. I had my P1 alloys refurbed in it.

They spray the chrome topcoat over a black, as apposed to white base coat.
