Default Wheel colours with WR blue

Ok folks, just purchased a set of pff7's from "silverfox72" on here (nice to meet you mate) and if I can pick a colour I hope to get them refurbed very soon.

I've got a blue blob sti which currently has silver turini's on (plan to keep these so i can change between the 2 sets) and have been mulling over colour choices for a few days now.

I originally thought of 1 set in silver/grey and 1 in gold but I'm really tempted to do a set in fluorescent yellow having seen some inspiration on nasioc, but don't know if I've got the bottle to make that call.

So.... What do you think? Favourite colours for these wheels?

Speedline Turini in silver/grey
Prodrive Pff7's in gold
(Or vica versa)

Or man up and have a set in a stupid colour?

Cheers.

I'm not totally convinced with white, I've considered gloss black as a friend has a blue R32 with black wheels that looks superb.

Bronze or Hyper Black gets my vote,white is great,but hard to keep clean(fluorescent yellow looks great,would love them)

Here are pictures of wheels which we run

Hyper Black






White





Bronze

Jura, I like those in hyper black, is it a high gloss and metallic black??

The pff7's look superb in a metallic grey
(Pinched from nasioc)


But I'd love to see these in everyday light.

Gold - Classic colour always gets my vote. So many people have gone dark colours that its refreshing to see again.

Gonna go see a guy Monday with the Pff7's and I think I will go a metallic grey (or that hyper black if its not too dark), So that will probably mean the turini's will go gold later in the year.

That's the plan, unless I grow some and pick bright yellow.

Pff7's are with the local wheel guy. They should be ready to pic up next week, after discussing black and hyper black with him I've gone for something around that area. He's calling it 'panther black' which is black with some bronze in? (So I'm told)

Pretty nervous tbh.

White all day long. The end.

Jura, what tyres are those with your bronze alloys?
Do they come in a 225 / 45 R17?

They look mental!

This, anything else just doesn't compare, especially coloured wheels.
