Default Wheels stolen, rocking steelies... want to paint em!

so my wheels got stolen about a month ago. F-theives.

anyway I want to paint my steelies cause they are a bit rusty and need some loving..

My personal preferences so far are, beige/brown, grayish/blue, or maybe polishing them (least favorite option because of time involved) (I don't want gold again either)

Here's the car, I'd love to hear some opinions on what other colours would look good.

dont be silly and waste your time. save up some money and get rims and lug nuts that require a lug key. your car looks too good to resort to painted steelies

Just paint the steelies white. I've always loved white steelies. White steelies will go perfect with the color of your car.

I've tried that before but the steel wheels are not OEM so they don't fit
