Default Gold Or White 99 DB8 (4dR GSR)

Got into an accident recently on the passenger side, the damaged is fixed but the blades are pretty hurt.
I am just doing this for the winter anyway because when spring comes around the car will be painted and I am also saving up for some rims!
Haven't decided yet, so i doesn't hurt to hear some opinions.
recent mod's..
sk2 springs with KYB gas shocks
Blox rear lca's and Blox Camber Kit
Spoon **** **** w/ Type R Shift Boot
Valve Cover repainted
Hytech 4-2-1 replica header w/ test pipe..Bought on this site
Waiting to get WS2 exhaust


1.Gold



2.White

I also think white > gold. But honestly some polished silver blades would look even better

But to each his own.

LoL I only rocked em for a few days just to match the VC.
Got them for free anyway.



I made a choice just to wait till Spring for some new rims, but i will clean these up and looked a DIY thread to redo them.

I would say polish or silver, but seeing how there's only 2 options, then I'll say white. Gold just looks plain out horrible.

I say gold. But not the gold you have in the pic. That looks like an actual gold bar. For a darker color, I would go with a more bronze color. But thats just my opinion.

I'd just refinish them silver to look like it's new again. But if you really want to paint them, most likely White.

BUT, you're waiting to Spring for some new wheels, kudos.
