Default Painted Tethys wheels?!

Okay im thinking of painting my tethys wheels while saving up money for some BBS. Just to make it look decent atm. i have a black s60 w/ stock 2 tone interior(black/tan). Now here's my question, black or gold/bronze paint? I kinda like the gold/bronze idea but im not sure if the s60 can carry the color and might end up ricey instead of rally. Here's a good link of some painted tethys but not in gold.

IMO the black on black getting a bit common though but still gotta love the stealthy look.
Any inputs would really be helpfull. Thank you!

Paint them plaid, or how about camo. Or with a spiral pattern on them, or how about hot pink. Man it's your car do what you want. I see you say you want it to look rally, then paint them orange.
