Default What colour ST2's on a white type r?

Just picked up some silver speedline ST2 wheels and was thinking that silver does not suit, gold a bit garish and black too dark. What about antracite? Is there a lightish shade?

I've got white Speedline Preo-R (a similar design to the ST2 ) on my white Type R think they look alright but if white isn't to your liking then I would go for a dark grey.
If you go to anybody shop/paint supplier they should be able to mix any colour you want so a lighter anthracite colour shouldn't be a problem

Yep, I'm sort of thinking about an antracite but not too dark. I always think that really dark rims blend in too much with the tyres, I like to see a contrast between the two.

Any pics of yours mate as I'm not too opposed to white wheels.

Decided to paint them with Mazda 38R. Not too dark, but dark enough. I will post some pics when done.
