Painting 5 star wheels, what color do you like

i was thinking of painting my stock 5 star wheels since i cant affort 18's. what color do you think looks the best. i was thinking maybe going white but not sure if i would like it after its done. i think the regular silver alloy would look pretty good too. i like the ones in the stickies but think there kind of dark.

Go with Gun metal like the ones in that picture, and Post some pictures of the car with the wheels on them.

Green and copper would look nice. How about a brass look.

White just seems like you'll have to clean them every other day.

Staying with the smaller rim will be better for performance, plus I really think the the stockers look good. Maybe a fresh coat of silver would look nice. The dark gunmetal rims are sleek to be sure, but sometimes they sometimes look dirty from afar. I would like to see what a white 5 spoke would look like though.

Wanted to paint my stock honeycombs white.
Tell me how it goes. I'm worried about painting them because of how many holes there are and inside the "holes" the metal looks like a different color.
