White SS/TC with what color rims????

Need opinions here. I have a 09 Summit White TC and want to get the rims powder coated. I called today and got a quote for bronze and gunmetal. What do u guys think I should go with?

I know gunmetal will look sick but bronze is a hit or miss with me. Some cars like the Nissan GT-R with bronze rims and lowered looks flat out amazing. But could also look horrible too.

The bronze color came out to mbe $75 a rim, and the gunmetal was $120 a rim. What should I choose?

Damn that's a lot. I can get a 18x8 blasted and PCed for about 30-40 a rim for any color.

Bronze and white are a win IMO.

Thats the first place I called, theres a few more places around here but I cant look at any of their work on their site like this places. And they do an amazing job, I was gonna have them do my rims, valvecover and charge pipes.

Well I think the bronze might win. $120 for some gunmetal is just too much. For all that I might as well buy some new rims. But I might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere, so Im gonna keep looking. I just want a color that will go good with white and eventually a carbon fiber hood and trunk.
