I would just fix the scratches unless you got the $$$ to do a FULL paint job door jams engine bay and make it look like it came that way. I hate seeing a car with just the out side paint but the bay is a different that just me. Go with the gold all the ppl i seen paint them gold i loved but i would get someone to photo shop them for you.

Unless bodywork is totally FUBAR then just a good polish should do the job.
Paint the rims a gunmetal grey or a dark bronze. When I was looking for a silver lude, that was what I was going to do.

i pretty much had the same issue at hand.. i have the scratches and dings, but ive just chosen to live with them after finding out how much it was to get a complete paint job done right.. as for your car i'd go with painting the rims gold cuz that'll look great
unfortunately for me, my car color is NordicMist.. cant seem to find rims that really appeal to me to go with that color lol..
good luck with everything!
