What do you think?
Played a bit in Photoshop, what do you guys think – 1 (orig), 2 (plastidipping rims) or 3 (silver mesh grill)?

Wheels should be silver.
Intakes should be open.

How about wheels colored to match the top?

The color is a personal preference, I personally can't stand black wheels for the most part (albeit I did like the old BBS basketweave in black with the chrome lips)
Your problem is the size or offset, they look like little donuts tucked under the rear and no color will make up for that. You need to at least add some spacers if you are keeping those wheels to make it look decent.

Keep the wheels silver. Add spacers to fill in the wheel wells. Keep the grille as factory.
You have a very classic color combination on a very nice looking factory stock car. There's very little you can do to improve on what you have. Changing wheel colors and grills aren't going to improve what you have. Just my opinion. You asked.

My personal 2 cents on the 2 grill vents would be more open mesh like rain gutter plastic with bigger holes, not so fine. As for wheels Burnt Copper is in now.

Definitely leave the wheels silver. The silver and green go great together.

Well, your message was loud and clear, thank you guys. It's very good to hear other opinions, since it can be hard to judge on what you see every day.
I guess I'll leave everything as it is and will get the information whether/how wide I can go with spacers on the back.

Great choice, spacers will make a huge difference on the look.
BTW, I was at the dealer the other day and black wheels are on nearly every car in every color, I still don't dig it. I have a black car with a black top and just painted my wheels a gun metal silver, I hope it looks good.

I'm with everyone else (mostly) on the silver for the wheels 
Before you get spacers, be sure to do any suspension mods you plan on (I'm dropping my car ~1" right now) - if you plan on doing any.
Have fun!

Danke. Ja, es sieht so aus, dass es die einzige Farbe ist, die wirklich passt. Aber ich denke ich bleibe erstmal beim klassischen Look
