What colour for these alloys?

Hi all,
I got these valver alloys on my car since october. They were in pretty bad shape but couldn't decide on the colour at that time so sprayed them gold for a while.
Soon as the spring will come I will get them refurbished properly but my god I'm having a rough time deciding on the colour. I have another set of 16" ultras in gun metal grey so want these another colour.
Was going to do them gold but now i m not so sure. (a darker gold not a flashy one).
Black is just meh, white might be nice but don't really want to clean them daily..
What other options would look good? Thx!

Lol! I wanted some 15" alloys for winter and occasional trackdays, I really wanted something like 2118's but just couldn't find anything. Got these at a very low price so they are here to stay. The ultras are the road summer wheels

Have the ultras in gunmetal grey already. Would like another color for the 15's. Not another shade of grey that is :)

Winter wheels - Get caked in crud the second you hit the road, so whatever you spray them they're brown within a week.
Track wheels - If you can see the colour of the wheel through the brake dust, you're doing it wrong.

If my money, I'd leave them as is and buy more tyres :smile:

You make a point but they area kinda scuffed and it bugs me! So the plan is to do them right once and take care of them as I'm not the type that thrashes them on curbs and stuff.
