Default Wheel color opinions

Ok fellas, I want to see what y'all think about color options for my hugger orange SS. I bought an extra set of 10 spokes and I wanna do a 2 tone. I'll post this pic as a reference

I'm considering coating the machined areas in this flat bronze and making the black sections flat black
<a href="http://s829.photobucket.com/user/SacBunt/media/3304659C-1676-4C9A-BDA1-8D9A97EDBAB7_zpsfvx8phoi.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i829.photobucket.com/albums/zz219/SacBunt/3304659C-1676-4C9A-BDA1-8D9A97EDBAB7_zpsfvx8phoi.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 3304659C-1676-4C9A-BDA1-8D9A97EDBAB7_zpsfvx8phoi.jpg"/></a>
My second option would be this glossy bronze on the machined areas and keeping the gloss black

My last option would be to go with this gun metal finish on the machined areas and keeping the gloss black


I'd like some opinions to see what goes well with hugger orange. Thanks!

Looks good as is but if anything I like those wheels better without them being painted black in between the spokes, seems to make the spokes look beefier.

I really like the bronze colors but your opinions solidified my initial thought. The bronze does not look good with my body color.

Maybe have your rears widened to 11's. That would look awesome. Ive always loved the wheels you have,, just need wider**

Not the same as your car but i painted these oe wheels and it changed their whole look. Even lug nut color can help out s bland set of wheels.

^^The gunmetal look on yours can be pulled off with most any color,, but I think bronze is too much tuner-ish and def cant be pulled off with such an awesome color as HO* Would be a downgrade**
