Default What color should I paint my Group-N's?

I drive a FBP 99 Si and just sold my C8's and picked up some rota group n's on the cheap to put on there till I get something else. They are the black with the red lip and I really don't think I would like them like that on my car.
I was thinking of painting them bronze or silver? Thoughts? Or maybe getting them polished. Any pics of polished group n's? Or any other color maybe to paint them?

Here is a pic of my car with the c8's so you get an idea.

I might test fit them and see how it looks (unless anyone has a pic of a black em1 with them) but I really don't think I will like it.

I think I may just throw them on as is after seeing a quick chop. Just to see how I like them.

He's the one who sold me the wheels so maybe I should. I'm just not a fan of white so much.

I was really thinking silver at first. Then I began to think bronze because I miss my bronze wheels anyways. Then from there I thought polished but even with searching I can't find any pics of polished group-n's.

I actually was joking about pink earlier.

I'm really thinking about going that route. I looked into doing it myself. We'll see.

Like others have posted, silver. I said polished or white only because I dont know how you would get the silver color again without it being some ghetto spray paint silver or powdercoat or w/e route you take. The silver that they come in is my favorite, but I dont think you can get that look once you've stripped them

Leave them the way they come and see how it looks on your car. If you don't like them i would say look into painting them gunmetal.
