I have to agree with everyone. Your car looks badass the way it is. But, if you must, the red/bronze or gold combo looks good.

Nice clean car, i love the wheels the way they are but if you want to switch it up i would go with black with a polished lip.

Your car looks really clean but who knows what it would look like with a different color wheel. Maybe bronze
