Default What colour to paint the centers

Ah yes, an opinion thread...

I've always liked the gold wheels with a dark car look, or white wheels and black... but my A6 isn't black.

I just picked up these wheels and just wondering people's thoughts on the colour choice for the centers. Keeping the lips silver.

Even pics of this colour with different coloured wheels would be even better. Thanks.

Unique jack stand! I'd paint them Oyster Grey to match the body color.

But that's soooo 2005... wait, then it'd be "period correct" wheels!! Haha

Thought of that... I was wondering if anyone had pics... but this board doesn't seem too active

I think these cars show better with subtle exterior accents, but my natural styling preference is; "less is more". I would go on the darker spectrum between gray, gold or bronze. Calipers should be something subtle too either body color or black.

I switched from dark gray to color matched when I converted brakes again on my project car.
