Default Wheel colour question

Hi all
I know i have posted this before, but my wheels are going off to be refurbed very soon,due to one being damaged by a twat in a lorry.
Oh and my wheels are discontinued.
So its decision time,what colour
I have 4 ideas
1. Stay Gold
2. Go radical and get them painted same blue as graphics
3. Black
4. White

They ahve been on my car for 6 years in the colour they came in which is gold.
Really need opinions guys

I have to say (pulling splinters from my harris) that I agree with both Scott and Anger.

I like the way the car looks now, if you are going to keep the graphics, don't change a thing.

Or, go the complete radical route like Scott says, remove the graphics, go for a bold colour on the wheels and the GT3 type livery (I would go red personally).

I think the decision IMHO rests on, do you still want the graphics you have now?

Thanks guys
I am staying with the graphics, prob sounds daft but the car has its own character, the graphics have been on a long time now.
I am leaving the extreme suff to my brother.
I have always ummed and arrrd about colour change of wheels,its just now the wheels are soon off for refurb,so colour could be changed.
Mmmmmm i just dont bloomin know

If you like your car as it is... Gold
If you want to be different... Blue
If you like cleaning wheels... White
If you don't like cleaning wheels... Black


Simples

Like your way of thinking Lee

I am down to two now
Gold or Blue
Thing with Blue as Scott said,its got to be a very close match to the graphics

Calling Mr Worzel, When you get a spare minute or two,as i know your very busy right now, Could you see if you can find a shade of blue to photo shop my wheels.
The way i see it if i dont like it i will just have to get them painted again.

Mate, I know it's not an exact colour match.

But you'll get the idea I'm sure.

I know it'll be more expensive but I think Blue will look better with polished lip.

Either leave it as it is

or

Go Bronze for a slight change, but keeping the current look

or

go for white face with blue inserts


Personaly would leave it as it is

Always loved white wheels on a white car. But to personalise your car I would love white wheels with a blue lip in your instance.

Difficult to float the question out there as everyone has there own personal taste, but thats the great things about these cars. You can make them as individual as you want and anything goes.
