Or you could fit on some 22's.
If you do be sure to post a pic when your finished.
So no black eh? How about grey? NO silver, no make them shiny chrome.
Seriously, it depends on what color your car is, they should compliment each other. Kinda like pink rims and lime green body. Or Orange and black, or black and white, or yellow and purple.

Kevin, post a couple pictures of your car, maybe someone can help with photoshop.
The green that I used is an actual Porsche color called "Signal Green" used on the GT3RS.
I may actually sell my green 16" phone-dials pretty soon, if anyone is interested. Already carried the green theme onto another *better* set of rims.

John_Az = NO!
CPR = NO!
Marcquito = HELL NO!
BANSHEE = Glad you know your color wheel. My car color is Pastel Beige it an off white / cream color.
ZW 944 - ROTFLMAO!!!!
ritzblitz = Hand me the key and title to your Porsche. You are worthy if you think those damn things are cool.
Elliott = Thanks. I love both your cars. I thought you bought a white 944 for $500. Where did you get the paint at? I even thought about Gulf Blue, orange and green.
I was thinking more along the lines of these.

The green paint I ordered at a local paint shop here in Orlando. I am sure there are a dozen automotive paint shops in the Dallas/FW area.
Some of these stores require you to have a paint code so they make sure you are happy with the correct shade of color you want. If you see a color you like on a car, you can find the paint code usually on the manufacture/VIN plate in the door jamb or under the hood.
Just make sure that if you order 'real' automotive paint, that they supply you with the correct amount, and also the corresponding reducer, clear coat, hardner, etc.
Using the rattle can spray paint on the wheels can look alright, but the paint will flake off when you get the tires changed. Has happened to me multiple times on spray painted rims. Plus real automotive paint literally looks x1000 better.
