Default Repainting the rims!!!

Sup y'all. Alright I've got the 94-95 GSR rims (5 stars). They are chipping bad so I'm goin to repaint them. The only prob is I dont know what color. I have a 94 Integra with a 98-01 conversion. It's painted Milano Red. So I want the rims to look good with the car. Help me out peeps, cuz I know y'all got ideas, opinions, and most of all...SKILLZ!!!

Yes a dark bronze would look great on red.

well since u said more opinions..heres mine...i had a color called "smoke" i think by Dupi-color, it was a slightly darker than the "gunmetal" color, i jus repainted my 17s in a color called graphite by duplicolor--this had Wheel Paint written on the bottle, the others--gunmetal is jus regular paint. i the new graphite color on my car, its a very nice color & it shines a lot more, btw, i killed about half a bottle of clear coat on each rim

--total of about 8-10hrs for the process
click on this link and u'll see my accord - the 2nd & 3rd pictures of this thread.
(notice the color difference--the first pic is about the color it was before (lighting was good)
