I vote for gunmetal with chrome lip. Classy with a touch of sporty. If you want to stay classy, get the lips re-chromed and faces re finished the same color they are now.

Matte black face, with either polish lip or DP matched lip.

Actually, I like all these ideas except for the bronze/gold.

ddpack is right, bronze/gold will look weird with your colour since you have an almost gold car. What colour is that btw? DP?
i was just gonna say that, gunmetal with a polished lip

Ernie, with your "theme" I think the way they look now is best... if you plan to start going in a more aggressive direction, the gunmetal face idea is not bad (not unique, but looks good).

Another idea (if you are daring) would require BBK painted a custom color - then paint the wheel lips the same color... that would kill the current look of your car though.

So it really depends on what your plan for the rest of the car is... if you don't plan to change the overall look, I'd keep the wheels as is.

Here's the closest I could come to a gunmetal (aka anthracite which is the iForged finish you see above)

I couldn't get a good bronze color to come out that I liked I'll keep working on it when I find more time
