Color for rims...

Got a bright red 3dr hatch, and just bought R81 Mini Cooper rims. What color should I paint them? Tried to upload pics but don't have them online yet.

Gotta love the R81's. Here's a pic for those not familiar:

With the red LB, I say either keep them silver or go white.

Right on.. you think white would be cool if I have a lot of black accents? Black Toyota badges and a black mask painted on grill? I'm not good with colors. Neon green would look wild.. with the red car kinda like Christmas on crack. I had toyed with black with red stripe and inside holes red. Lotta work tho.

Red & Yellow, Red & Yellow

^^^ HAHA, I was going to say GOLD until I read that. GOOD POINT! Don't think anyone can pull Red and Gold like vten!

Didn't like the wheels much until I saw them in the painted version with the silver lip, but now I think they look GREAT! White would be cool, what about yellow?
