White will get so dirty, so easily. Blue is my favorite, but of your two choices listed, I'd go with gold (perhaps brembo gold or Alpina gold).

Paint them gold, let them dry, then CLEAR coat over them. It'll look great on your black car!

I think you can't go wrong with Silver or black. to answer your questions I think Gold or Bronze would look really good with your Black on Black. They are so similar to pick between but I'd say I like Gold better but if you want something more rare/different go with Bronze. I also think Red would look good.

How about a slightly lighter color for your wheels to showcase them first? The lack of contrast makes them kind of look like a black blob. Then some nice silver paint for the calipers

IMO you can't go wrong will Silver, it's always a clean look and offers contrast on darker colors. However, with the Gunmetal I think it offers a little contrast while still looking clean but a little more of an aggressive look (doesn't look as much like factory wheels) Bottom line though, I think they all look good on Black. Just comes down to personal preference.
