Need help choosing wheel color

So I am ordering 17x9.5 rpf1's but I am unable to decide what color to paint them. My friend is a painter so my options are open. The car is electric blue and I used to run gold grids and I'm leaning towards gold. What color would you guys choose?

Dark bronze. Always prefer that combo with mitsu's blues. El Blu and gold is too STI'ish in my opinion.

Black isn't bad but seems like everyone goes that route. White is different but it's not what I'm looking for. I've done gold and it stands out very nicely when combined with blew regardless of how many stis have ran that combo. I could get sbc or attemp the bbs diamond black.

Black diamond bbs, I had them for awhile. I was gonna get the rpf1s in the sbc, but they dont make them in an offset thats not hellagay, so I opted for the silver ones and painted them black.

Not the best pic however.

You have a very clean car. Any other pics with your rpf1's?

Here is my car with my Old LE28's on them. I am still kicking myself in t he head for getting rid of them.



Gold with a polished lip is hands down my favorite on EB but unfortunately I can't find a lightweight wheel with a polished lip at a reasonable price.

I love the wheels in that color, but I think it would clash on eb, personally.
