What color do I paint my car to match these rims?

It is a black 1996 Z28 A4. I am buying some Tork Imagines. They only come in black or Hyperblack. I am going to go with the Hyperblacks in 18's front/ 19's rear or 18's on all 4 corners (havent figured that part out). I am also going to paint the car. What color would go well with the Hyperblack? I am thinking white, but I am open to any suggestions or maybe some photoshopping?

Paint the car to match the rims? I've never heard that before.

But those basically look the same color as most rims, so anything will work.

definately not white. i would say keep the black. try to restore the paint as much as you can with polish and such. if there are parts that cant be saved i would just get those painted. it will also be cheaper if it does need a respray to do black because the door jams and engine compartment wont need to be painted. those wheels are sweet tho. how much did they cost you?

I havent bought them yet. The paint is in bad shape and faded, so It really needs a paint job. the rims are a hyperblack color, so they are kinda a sliver/grey color I guess. I havent seen them in person, but the only come in black or hyperblack. I don't mind changing the color of the car, its only ~200-300 dollars more for jambs and such.
