Default what color should i paint my BBS'? ACC HELP!

i have these BBS wheels off of my car and apart (they are 2pc). i still cant decide what color to paint them! i JUST got tires for them, so i'd like to get them done soon!

the wheels
they have a polished lip and are going to stay that way....




on the car...



i was thinking of just re-doing them in silver or gold

i was also thinking polished, but it would be SO time consuming and hard because of all the little areas....

actually i started polishing the center on the right of the photo....

Polish or powdercoat the rims a chrome kind of finish, and the inners a dark silver, a bit lighter than gunmetal?

Maybe go with some polished faces. Re-do the silver (maybe even darker, like gunmetal), and polish just the faces of the spokes, and around the lug area.
