Default what color wheels for the teg?

im redoin my group n's as we speak. im only in the stripping stage of the wheels now. heres my car

stock color with gold pearl in the clear. i am redoin the paint again this summer so the side skirts and the type r lip(not pictured) will be paint matched.

im really not sure what color would look best...at first i was leaning towards just straight silver like off of this borrowed pic


but im not sure anymore, i like how gold and bronze go with this color too. help me decide. my choices are silver, gold, bronze, maybe white

i like my straight silvers, actually i think there hyper silver or something. they GLOW in the sun. im a big fan of bright silver on dark colored cars. BUT mabye some kinda metalic green would be cool. kinda like when your playing NFS Underground and you paint the rims almost the same color of the car.......might be cool with the right color

It's all to your personal preference. Personally I like gunmetal on darker colors

Hyper silver looks best, but it's in the eye of the beholder.

I would usually say black or dark, but where you've got the gold pearl in the clear coat (that can't really be seen in your pictures.) might be very well complimented by a set of bronze wheels... check out the slipstreams though, I think they'd look better, just mho.

IMO, since you're working with Cypress Green Pearl as on the DB.. I'd either go with a bright "warm" bronze color or a dark, "cool" gunmetal.

IMO, the OEM bronze finish is spot-on..but if you were to go gunmetal, I'd use a grey with a bit more blue/green in it.
