Default Rim Color Choice

Well I have a 2006 GP White s2k. I was thinking about getting 18" or 19" rims. But the more research I do, the more im seeing it will really decrease performance. SO.. I think I will stay with the stock rims. I am going to have them powder coated. Im not sure what would look better. The stock rims in white, black or gunmetal. Im leaning towards the gunmetal or black. What do you guys think? I like the look of the light (white color) and dark (black color) contrast, so I tinted the windows Limo. I think it looks hot. Im going to get a CF hood. and depending on how beb's CF lip looks. might get one of thoes too.. what do you guys think?? I ask you guys in the local forum cuz you all will have to deal with me driving around your neighborhood. Muuwaaahhhaaaaa.

Thanks
Rusty

I have never seen the OEM wheels powdercoated in white, but I have seen the Works in white on GPW, it looks real nice. I think white OEM would look real nice too.

I've got a spare set of stock '06's in my bus waiting to go somewhere... RW Little (in SD) and Greg (Spugen) both said the white powdercoat will not match the GPW... I'm going to call a painter guy on Monday to see if he'll paint the wheels GPW...

or else it's going to be black w/red stripe (like timeattacks)...

or RED...

or GOLD, light gold... not that bronze yuck stuff...
