I'm gonna get matted black rims, and I'm thinking painting mine glossy black. Gold is my second option, orange is third.

it took me forever to find any pics you posted of your car, but it looks and sounds like you're into a more subtle look, so red and yellow and gold would seem a little "loud". since you still have chrome on your car, I'd suggest silver calipers, black letters (if any). against the black wheels, it should look sharp. it's only paint anyway; you can always change it.
