Gold might be a tad too much...I'd look at bronze first. A bit more understated but just as elegant. It's more of an earth tone than gold is and will go much better with your seat color too

Gold on Rose

None of the wheel visualizers I found support Blackrose so I just did a quick mocked up photo. Hope it gives you an idea of what it could look like. Good luck!

Not sure I would go with as bright a shade of gold as in the pics above, but I do think gold wheels would look good on a Black Rose car.

These quick and dirty mock-ups are made from clipped pictures to give the OP an idea of what it could look like. The gold wheels in previous pics are too bright, and that may be due to the lighiting used for the original pic on the source site. Actual results may be different. Here's a sampe of what a bronze could look like. FWIW

Yes, but... To be clear - I'm not a seller. Just a Corvette fan. I only chose those images to provide an idea of how the color/finish might look. I can not offer an opinion on wheel quality, fitment or the selling vendors. Here's where I saw them:
Gold => MRR® FS1 Wheels - Gloss Gold Rims
Bronze => ROHANA RFX11 Brushed Bronze Custom wheels - Bronze Rims
If you find a particular wheel you like, I can try to gen up a pic to see what it might look like with your car. Just PM me.

All that being said, I don't think I've ever been more attracted to BR than I am now after seeing a mock up of what Bronze wheels can do for the color. I can promise you that if I had a BR car and decided to go aftermarket with a wheel selection, I would without question select Bronze. Again, going with the elegant and not common theme. I can tell you that if I was judging a show, and I came across a clean and well presented BR car with bronze rims, I'd most likely put that car up.

A copper colored finish, if it is available, would look awesome with Black Rose. Gold wheels are too reflective. Copper or Bronze color would mute the brightness and would not work to detract from the overall color of the vehicle.
