Which color GTA wheels?

Hello everyone. Im thinking about painting my GTA wheels this winter. The car in the photos isnt mine, but mine looks exactly like it. Currently they are just gold. I did a quick photoshop to get three colors, original pic was black so the gold one is a tad off - but close. Which do you like the best?

-Gold


-Black


-Silver

Black gold only looks good on white cars imo and the silver is just flat out ugly

As long as you keep the polished lip, go with black.

well I'm gonna hop on the band wagon and go with black as well. I've always hated the gta wheels unless there black, the black ones look great.

Something NOONE ever notes that should be noted
BLACK LOOKS LIKE CRAP IF THE BRAKES ARE CRAP

if you have rusty brown crappy looking rotars and aged calipers then they are gonna look stupid...plus even with that stuff looking nice black rims take away the detail in the gta wheels...outside of 5 or 10 ft no one is gonna even be able to tell what kinda of pattern or intracacy the wheels have other than you have a polished lip...sorry to me that doesnt look good

Go with Gold or different rims that have more of the brakes showing and paint them black...

black rims have become a "trend" its not unique anymore and everyones doing it and quite frankly gta rims are special rims that should remain gold IMO

Gold. It highlights the "GTA" on the fender wells nicely.



Then again, I did like the silver a lot too:



There really isn't a bad choice.
