That would probably look pretty good if you can get some good paint. Try it, its just paint, you can always sand and repaint them if you don't like it.
I just did mine in silver for a clean factory look:

Honestly, coming from another MBM F-Body owner, the gold on blue color scheme is not good. Very unpleasant to my eye.

But this is only my opinion of course, do what YOU like.

I'd reccommend silver. It would look nice without standing out too much.

Make them consistent with your color scheme. Black or silver are good neutral colors. I am not a fan of body color rotors, more often than not they look like you were trying to find somehting to paint.
