Have you thought about Plasti-Dipping your wheels?
http://www.plastidip.com/home_solutions/Plasti_Dip
If you scroll down the page you can see all the colors Plasti-Dip comes in

I use it all the time and even Plasti-Dipped my new wheels since it protects from brake dust
best of all it's easy to use and not that expensive

Personally, I think gold/black/white/silver/bronze are so common, I'd go with orange because it stands out without being rice


Or if you want something bright...this is evasive's time attack car

Liking both of these...

Only thing is the evasive is a bermuda blue i think not mcb so may be a bit different looking on a slightly darker blue....

Sell them. Get larger wheels or a lower offset IMO. Lower the car first though id help the overall look and of course the suspension benefits.

I would love an aggressive offset and wider arches to suit and lower but the roads here dont allow for me to do that set up..

I'd have to say with it being that height and the wheels not aggressive far out colors are going to be hard to pull off. Im going to look for some options that might help you out

Black? No way. Dull. Unappealing.
White? Possibly too much contrast, like the purple above.
Orange will actually work best, but I don't want that kind of attention. Maybe you do?
Seems to me that you need a polished lip with any color you pick because it will play well with that dark blue.
