Default POLL: What color rims?

So im getting ready to order some new rims for my 350z, but of course im indecisive right when it comes down to which color. So the colors im deciding between are Black, (maybe Flat Black), Bronze, or Gunmetal. Heres a picture of my car.
(the headlights are now tinted)

and hers a picture of the bronze another member photoshop'd

So those rims in Bronze, Black, or Gunmetal

almost have to match them or it will make the car look spray painted? How do you wax that thing? you can always put a color lip on the flat black to add some bling. You should really paint your door handles they look really out of place on your car. I love the flat black look, i have an overlay on my roof to match my rims.

What about a gloss black finish for the rims AND the door handles?

Gloss black/gunmetal and make sure the wheels have proper offsets.

I think it would be a good idea to have them match the color of the rims.

ya I mean black on black always looks good but its been done over and over especially here in utah not on alot of Z's but alot of other cars, thats why i was going to go with bronze because its unique and you never see it (at least here)

Bronze, or gunmetal as someone said earlier. Either way those second rims will be perfect with your car's paint.

Pretty much any colored wheels will look good on flat black. Suprisingly I think polished/ machined wheels look pretty great on flat black. Gray, Silver, Gold would look good too. Black would look good too. You should probably go for a gloss wheel though..... for a nice contrast to the car.

definitely get gunmetal wheels, and get 06+ headlights blacked out. That way the grey projector housing will match with your wheels :]

i agreee with the hyper black you need some contrast away from the matte black, but i would stay away from polished people hate on it for looking chrome
