Need some help picking rim color

OK my tires are bald (I'll take a pic tomorrow since it's actually funny how bald they are) so it's time to replace them and my crappy steel wheels at the same time. I've already decided on a set of 15x7 Rota Slipstreams and either 225 or 215 tires (price will probably dictate which). What I can't figure out is what color or more specifically what kind of bronze to go with. I have a thunder gray lancer if that helps.
The choices are normal bronze as seen here



or royal sports bronze





Oh and Subydude is ta awesome. The next estimate for wheels and shipping was over 400$ what Subydude quoted me.

I like the royal. Are you leaning towards one over the other? Even slightly?

eh.. he seems to be set on bronze. I can't say I like bronze on anything other than white or black, but if you're set on bronze, you know my vote.

I personally don't like going the bronze route. I like black for pretty much all lite color cars and chrome for darks. But if I hade to pick I would say royal.

There's no way I'd put chrome on a lancer. Black is too plain for me, I don't want to be flashy (hence no chrome or silver) but I also don't want it to look like I have steelies on.

I think the royal bronze looks a little too "muddy". I like the first bronze.

bronze is the way to go. Looks super clean for sure I think. I dunno what these other cracker jacks are thinking. lol

Is the pic of the TG with bronze rims royal? go with w/e color he did. looks great man. That will set your ride off.
