white or gold!

Leave as they are or paint black. Personally I'd save time / money on paint and leave as they are.

Spend the money on petrol and go for a drive!

Stick with the SIlver, orif you do decide on black then buy a new set then sell those to me!
What are they anyway, i like them.

They look fine as they are, a nice contrast.

hi, if the car was any other colour id say black as its definately the in colour but it looks great as it is.
inmo you dont want too many different colours on a car as it makes it look like you didnt bother, not in your case though
you could go gold but you should do other bits gold too

i think black is the one colour of car that makes alloy colours more difficult.

I personally don't like the look of black wheels on black cars. I think the only way it works is with a polished lip, but those wheels don't have the lip for it.

White can look a bit ott. Silver is always good as it stands out nicely on black. if you were that keen on a colour change i would consider gunmetal or bronze

Think integra type r...

Orange!

ETA: Sorry, didn't see you had set some options - stick with silver if you're not going to do something a bit more colourful with them

They are 2nd gen Mk5 Fiesta Zetec S wheels as fitted from about 2001/2 on, 15x6J IIRC

white imo

Might not work on those rims but otherwise I'd be tempted to go with mat black with a glossy red stripe around the outer edge. As red is one of the few colours already in your car (belts and rear lights atleast).

But then again I'm biased
