Default Which Wheel Colour OEM Wheels?

I've tried to post in the appearance section but have been unable to. I'm spraying the wheels next week, and am looking for opinions on which colour might work best. Here are some photoshops of what I've come up with so far:

Advice/Comments/Alternatives appreciated!

Thanks
Adam

SILVER
WHITE
BRONZE
GOLD
GREY

Keep 'em stock, IMO.

But if you must paint them, make it white.

I have to paint them as the wheels are in a shockingly bad state. They are getting blasted next week so I'm looking at a blank canvas as far as colour goes. White doesn't look that great above but it might just be the photoshop.

Cheers guys! I like it or the gold. They will be bead-blasted back to bare metal so polishing might not be so hard to do. I've no idea what that would involve though

1. Stock - Those are the nices wheels OEM on a Honda

2. Gray - Because wheels will get dirty and there will be times you don't have time to clean them.

3. Gold - Your blue + gold wheels = WRX Nice combo. It's it's OEM, it's not offending.

Firstly - thanks mods for moving this to the correct section :D

Secondly - thanks for everyones input so far!

I've had white cars with white wheels before, nothing looks cleaner than white when it is clean, (and I like cleaning cars!) but not sure with the blue?! I'm siding towards gold but it's maybe a bit brash? The wheels aren't gonna be ready for painting until mid week so I've a few more days to decide.
