Black or Gunmetal w/ fbp lip???

Hey guys I've had my fbp fa5 for about two months now and I'm planning on going to the texas state meet next month and I don't want to show up with a stock ride. I really want new wheels but i'm planning on painting the stockers for now. I have TA style in mind but i'm not sure if i should do black w/ fbp lip or go with a darker gunmetal w/ fbp lip or should i get them powdercoated bronze. Bear in mind that if I go black i'll be thinking about getting a black mesh grill for the lower opening on the front bumper similar to the grillcraft mesh material. Any input on both wheels and grill is greatly appreciated.

Nothing wrong with going stock to a meet, but I think bronze looks pretty good on FBP. I would rather save up some cash and go with some aftermarket rims unless you like the OEM look. My cousin constant paints his rims since he doesn't have enough money, but I think he like doing it for fun too.

Id say save up and get aftermarket wheels first. Then you have time play around with different colors if you plan on painting your stock wheels. All gunmetal would look good on FBP.

I don't know many that will powdercoat Mugen rims. The only thing you need if you really want to do it is some new stickers for the center caps.

I might look around some junkyards here in Houston and try to find a totalled si shouldn't be too much for the wheels. oh yeah thanks for the input guys keep it coming. as far as bronze i love the way the work xd9's look but i would settle for the konig feather knock off until i can get something forged. Hey ashraf please don't paint your gp's. you'd be better off selling them and picking up something else. not that you're wheels aren't awesome to begin with.
