What color to powder coat my wheels?

I'd like some outside opinions of what color I should powder coat my wheels...


Here are a few pictures of my car:





The wheels I've ordered:





Colors I'm thinking of:

Satin Black:


Dark Gold:


Dark Gunmetal:


Dark (semi-gloss) Bronze:


Dark (matte) Bronze:


Regular Gold:


White (semi-gloss):



And just for kicks, badass Purple!





Let me know what you guys think! Even throw in different colors, I don't mind.

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.

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

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.
