need help deciding on paint for my EX rims

I have a black EX coupe and I am planning on paining the rims in 2 weeks. Here are my ideas using the duplicolor rims paint...

1. All black
2. Bronze spokes with everything else black
3. All bronze
4. All gunmetal

If someone could photoshop these color combonations onto my rims, that would be awesome. I will get a pic of my car as soon as I can.
Thanks

I would have to say gunmetal. I just got done painting my bottom part of the Si grille after removing the emblem bracket. I used Dupli-Color gunmetal, and the color is awesome!
Here is a closeup of what it looks like. It's a little darker than the cap shows, and has some nice metalflake in it too. Note, this is against an ASM background. It also has about 3 coats of clear over it too.


I think bronze would look good too. It's a little played out, but would still look good. Black just looks to much like steel wheels with no hubcaps to me?

Let us know what you decide, and post some pics!

gunmetal spokes and everything else black! i saw a great example earlier, ill see if i can find it for ya. i think it would give a nice to-tone look to it. kinda like the element wheels.
