Post Which color?

Finally have come down to two different choices for wheels. Either Gunmetal on the left or a light bronze on the right. Its going on a whiteout

Black seem's like such a popular choice, I would go with the bronze.

Def gunmetal on a white car.
But I'd prefer a pure black rim on a white car if you can really be stuffed changing the stock.

Between the two I voted bronze. If there were a third choice; white I'd have voted for that. I remember my white 911 with white wheels and it sure looked good.

Ya I have tossed around the idea of white wheels as well but a lot I have looked at are a "pure" white going against a pearl white. It just looks off to me

Bronze for sure =). I have been debating if I want to pick up some wheels and get them powder coated pearl white for that reason about most white wheels being too white compared to the body color.
