New rims: paint options wanted

I just got this set of rims for $80, they are in great shape. Friend of mine gave me a coupon for a free rim paint job. I don't know if I'd like a color or if I just want to do them black. Please give your opinions

Can they do red with the outer ring of the rim polished aluminum?
Or how about retro '80's Euro look and body colour white rims?

A dark red was my first thought then I thought about a dark metallic blue. White was a option also but I actually saw a white pt with white wheels this morning and wasn't a fan. I'll check and see what the guy says about leaving the edge polished. Think that'd look good. Thank you

edited original post to modify the link to the picture so it shows full size (removed the _thumb reference in the link).

Nice wheels btw.

Thanks for fixing it whopper. These wheels are like new, not a single scratch and not even a spec of brake dust on them

whitelightnin.
Just curious. What model car are those rims from ? Are you sure they will fit on a HHR ?
It might just be the picture but it almost appears that they may be the wrong offset to fit on a HHR.

Oh lord. No telling what I bought then. All I can see on them is
16x6.5J
xis39

Is that a Cruze wheel?

I would suggest bolting up one of those bare rims on your car to make sure it will fit and clear the strut and caliper.
Would hate to see you paint them and then they wouldn't fit.
