Default Thinking of painting SI wheels...what color???

Alright i have a set of 99-00 si wheels and i am going to paint them because i am bored and have nothing better to do considering i can't drive for 6 months. My question is what color do y'all think i should paint them?

just to be different... white w/ red lip.

i dunno if the scheme would look good on Si's...
but i got the idea from painting RnR's white w/ red lip

EDIT: re-think this over... IMO, dont paint stock rims y0.
sell em and save up for new shoes
