4th Generation Rims\Tires (need opinions)

Ok. Rims. Its a little tougher for me (IMO) just because my car is gold. I am seriously considering gunmetals: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...975091414&rd=1

But then again, I am not sure if they would look that great on my car. I think they would, but some people have thought otherwise. I figure since all the trim (pillers, etc) on the car are black, they would go good. But have also been looking at some super-silvers:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43957

What do you all think? Its rough cause I don't really want to get chrome (chrome is pretty universal though...). I don't think chrome should be on a car unless its 20"+ rims (sorry all you guys with chromes less than 20" ) and I don't feel like paying the $ in order to get chromes, let alone 20" chromes. Although, this looks really good: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=66483

Opinions/ranting/babbling/incoherent babbling welcome!

I think you should find a gunmetal wheel with a polished lip... I'm not a fan of deep lips on wheels, but when a wheel has no lip at all, I don't think it looks good... I've seen a gold Gen4 with gunmetal+polished lip and it looks hot.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

I'd have to say gunmetal. I have a Beige Gen 3, and would get Gunmetal 5/6-spokes if I got rims.
