If thats what the black sections are.

^ I can vouch for matte black looking good, just don't copy me please. wink.gif

I vote for gunmetal with the inner part of the spokes (looks like it dips in?) matched orange to your car.

I'd leave the rims as they are, only the inner parts of spokes paint orange (i.e. the same color as the body).

Is the orange color metallic?

They don't look too bad the current color. Hard choice between gunmetal and matte black. If I had to choose I think i'd have to go for matte black. Either way, car will look great.
