I would recommend blacking out both the center caps and the chrome window trim. Throw in a midnight front grille and a black rear diffuser section to pull it all together then you're really cooking. Threw in some pics I found to illustrate.

Damn, I am too late....I would have had +1 for the gunmetal, but it could have been worse.

Lose the red. It looks Honda-ish.

Not feeling that red for the cap or caliper. Gunmetal/gold would be the way to go but only gold for aftermarket...stock is good for gunmetal.
I have a set of gunmetal-ish G37 sport wheels for sale if interested, this color looks bomb on white cars...have the same scheme for my B6 Audi.

Appreciate the feedback guys, I especially like how it seems to stir up conversation and shows different opinions. I don't want to look like anyone else and the fact u guys aren't feeling it means I did good! I love it and been getting hella compliments everywhere even with it looking dirty with all the snow we have up here! They are OEM and I plan on having fun with them, might to the reverse all red with the black center cap next! That gold do sounds like a go when I get some aftermarket wheels as for now imma keep it how it is.

if those wheels were all black they would look really nice. Red calipers behind the black stands out.

That would look pretty nice and you'd have the red that you want too.
