I say black chrome or high polished

do like a bright yellow, although idk how that would look on ggp. its sorta like gold lol.

but out of those choices, id say white or maybe that purple...
that purple is pretty badass.
guess it depends how super flashy you wanna be.

Dark gunmetal! I'm telling you man. It'll look sick!

Paint each spoke a different color:

Dark bronze

i'm thinking of doing my wheels bright glossy orange

but since you've already done gold and that hue on your ggp i think you should do something totally different. a color that'll pop or jump out at you and something that'll look good with ggp. how about like teal or winterfresh if you know what color that is, they're pretty similar but winterfresh has a lighter tone to it. but i think it has to be matte and not glossy....some will probably hate on this color though

paint them gloss black with metallic flakes (like glitter)..... nice!

What can I say... I'm a beginning wheel whore. Yes, I just got the VS-XX's four months ago. I got tired of not having the sizes I want, and I decided to change the look.

It's not a matter of "downgrade" or "upgrade." That thought never even crossed my mind. I like the RPF1's because they're aggressive and they will save me about 40 lbs of rotating mass. The rear wheels alone are a 1/2 inch wider, and weigh 10.5 lbs less. I'll probably get another set of Work's in the near future... I'll buy them direct with the offsets and widths that I want though.

good taste in wheels man, the rpf were my choice of wheels, not wonder you suggested the MS1 lol.

The limited edition RPF looks really nice.
