Default what color to paint rims?

ok i have a forrest green camaro. and i just got a set of oem zo6 rims that are gunmetal. i was wondering what would look good...

painted black with polished lip?
leave gunmetal?

or other suggestions?

i know at night time the black with polished lip would look sick on my darker colored car but in the daytime would the black look a little off?

any suggestions are appreciated thanks.

I was thinking somewhere along the line of this color scheme, but a darker metallic bronze...

Chrome or silver if you will. It's the only color that really struck me as matching to a green car.

I think the gunmetal will actually set off the green more than the black will. Put them on and see what you think before you do anything drastic.

That's your opinion, and everyone is entitled to one, but I'm sure he'll make up his own mind.
