What's better? Bronze or Gunmetal rims on a black Si?

Hey.

I just recently picked up a set of Advanti 6-spoke rims. They are a light gunmetal colour, but have some curb rash that I plan on cleaning up and would like to paint.

I still have a mint set of SiR rims, but I've had them for the last 3-4 years and I'm looking to do something new. I'll probably be posting them up for sale soon.

So, what would look better on a black '96 Si?

1. Bronze

or

2. Gunmetal

If you'd like to see what the car looks like just click on the link in my sig.

I'll be using the Dupli-Color Bronze or Graphite (pretty much a dark gunmetal) for the paint. I plan on getting blue lugs to go with either colour as well.

Thanks for the help.

Hmmm....The bronze would stand out more, but the gunmetal would look sleeker.
