Default painting Rims

hey guys so im new here and I wanted to ask a question about what do you guys think. I have a 1995 civic ex white and it's stock from the outside...I have some 17"rims and I wanted to do some DIY painting on them. I have three choices...one is paint them all gold, or gun metal silver, or glossy black with silver lip. what do you guys think?

I agree with the gunmetal... and on a side note, whats the best way to take flat black rims nd make them glossy? Just several coats of clear? I bought some rims and stripped them down to paint them black, but turns out they were black underneath the paint, so all I need to do now is make them glossy. Thanks! Sorry to thread jack.
