Default Decided to keep soooo.... Pic Request

Hi Guys

Basically, was advertising my car to get a cheap runabout (due to commute distance and buying new house) until i found out it needed work for the MOT, so this month ive done:

Eibach Springs (-40mm) - due to a fractured spring on front o/s (good excuse to the mrs to get sports springs!)
Godspeed Discs & Kevlar Pads all Round - (didnt really need but always like to know i can stop!!)
New Anti-Roll Bar Bushes
New CV Joints all round
Cat Back 3" system with 4.5" Angled Exit (just because i wanted this!)
STI Mudflaps

And it's going for new clutch/flywheel skimming in a few weeks so after spending all this money, i cant bring myself to part with her for next to nothing and people were offering stupid money so im keeping her, so the next bit is a refurb of the alloys as they are looking a little tired. My question is simple, BLACK OR WHITE?

Car is a black 2003 Blob Eye WRX (not sure on paint code but its the one with the gold flecks in it) and i cannot make my mind up as whether to go for black or white refurb...

Any pics would help!!

I'd just save up for some new 17's/18s instead. I had some 18'' Rotas on my black 04 WRX, (pictures are in my 'garage' if you are interested).

If you are serious about refurbing yours then look at this thread first...

Nooo, not powder coating, i mean home refurb, long old sanding priming & spraying job, wont be a perfect finish but i will be getting some brand new 18" wheels once the tyres on my 17's need replacing, until then its just a home refurb jobby Done a few sets of wheels and to be honest they looked sound in my opinion, yes no profesional job granted, but unless you looked VERY closely couldnt tell the difference, and its only for a few months whilst these tyres run low and then it's brand new wheels & rubber all round.
