White or leave them stock. Light gunmetal might not be bad either.

How it is now:
My vote is for the above. I think they look hot just the way they are... I've liked those wheels since I first saw them.

The only other way I think they would look really good is if you could find a way to have them painted/finished in "Black Chrome".

If I had those wheels I would either finish them myself in BC, or have them finished in Black Chrome by someone else... that is if I wanted or got tired of the original finish.

Several companies actually make black chrome paint now, so you could do them yourself... if you have the time and/or patience.

Do a Goggle "black chrome wheels" image search, or do a standard Google search for "black chrome paint"... that is, if you're not familiar with that finish, and are interested.

Otherwise, looks nice as above.

Royal bronze, nothing else. The photoshoped version all look worst than the original.

I like either the white or silver. White looks great clean but it is going to show dirt and brake dust far more. Are you up for frequent cleaning?

What are you going to use for paint? For wheels I think I'd be tempted to have them powder coated.

wow that last photochop of the GE headlight/bumper on a GD is fail.

retroattack, i think your wheels look great as is. if you want different color wheels i suggest you get another set as those ssr's are rare to come by. i wouldnt want to ruin such a classic by painting them when they look so good when left alone.
