Help me choose a new finish for my wheels...

I just ordered a new set of wheels, and decided to keep mine as track wheels since they look so perfect on the car. That said, I am trying to tweak them a bit with a new finish, so please help me decide.

Current:

Gold:

Metallic Gunmetal:

Matte Black with white time attack:

Ever since I got the CH's soooooo many people have been purchasing them, so I really want to switch it up a little. You guys may be right that silver looks best, but it's at a point where it's too common. So, what's the next best choice?

Your car looks great as is but if you're itching to switch it up I'd go for the black and white

Super dark grey, almost a flat black to the whole wheel. Since you dig the rallycar gold that would be my second choice of the two pics.

I guess I'm a ricer at heart, and my body shop has the paint code to OEM BBS gold, so my car will look like an STi twin in no time!

haha, do it man...gold/white or gold/black combo grows on you after time...who knows what i would have done had i kept the STi longer...probably semi gloss black to entire wheel since I hated cleaning my wheels after track days
