What color to paint my TE37's?

Theyre in rough condition and recently just sanded down. They used to be top secret gold but that was ages ago. I think its time for the wheels to get a little love. After i paint or polish them ill replace the stickers again, but I just cant decide what color to go with!

Any advice on color/ lug combos?

Whats a set of wheels cost to get powder coated usually? $200 per wheel?

im in the same boat man. selling my t1s and prob picking up some varrstoens to rock for a little bit till i trade my car in. i hate black wheels so i had planned to powdercoat them but im undecided on a color that will match DG. i was thinking a hyper silver, light gunmetal, bronze/gold.

NO no no gold or bronze on a silver G35, that color only looks good on OB or TB coupes! To keep it super clean I'd P/C your wheels body color, with your tires very black that would look
