Gloss Black with that style it will "Modernise" them
Grey/Gunmetal also works with aggressive tyres. I did this....

Update with photos
Decided to stay original and go Sliver ,
Any way here's some more photos
Primer coat goes on two coats
First of the top coats going on
First wheel done

I used a full can of top coat on two wheels works out at about five coats each
Now leaving them to dry for 24 hours then flat them down for the lacquer coat
