Wheel color (Need your help)

[JDR]

Guys, this weekend I will take my rims to a factory to polish the lips.
But I'm not sure about the color of the wheel.



Should they be:

1. Stock F1 silver



2. Gold



3. Bronze



4. Gunmetal



I also thought about white. But my previous set was white and wheels loose their depth in white:



Please advise! Any input appreciated.

I like 1. stock f1 silver, then white 2nd

I got a soft spot for gold wheels. those do look good in both silver and gold but I say gold.

I think the way they are right now looks the best, 2nd best would be silver w/polished. RPF1s have a kind of raw, "racey" look to them and fancying them up like RSs or other "show" wheels kind of takes that advantage or uniqueness away from them.

What's the reason for polishing the lips?? Just leave them alone!!

Oh I greatly appreciate your opinion. Thats just the same that I was thinking of! I like their race-inspired look and I also think that polished lip kills it. But on the other hand polished lip makes the wheel look deeper and more classy from 3/4. Also there is a factory made SBC version of RPFs that is even more gay than a simple silver with polished lip. And it looks great either. And another disadvantage is that I don't like their stock F1 color From 3/4 view they look just like cheap steelies So.... What about white? But white kills the depth, as I stated earlier.... It's a kind of a trap with no exit

IDK, gold is pretty in with the race crowed

I say leave them the color they are or white.

Silver w/ polished lip is is, then!!

It'll look good any of the ways you posted, all silver would be "cleanest" in my opinion, silver w/ polished obviously wouldn't be bad either lol.

I've recently found a real pic of silver RPF with polished lip:



Actually I like it even more, than full polished:



and SBC:

They are the same color as genuine Enkei valve stems. I didn't have pic of them in blue (have out them on only yesterday) so this is just a photoshop. They look nice and make wheels look more JDMish

I'm also leaning towards gold now. But color matched center looks really cheap. I've tried that. It makes wheels look like a chinese replica.

Hm... New option added:
maybe some bronze w/o lip?

[.:Heather:.]

my vote is for silver

With polished lip or just stock color?
