What color to paint 05+ RSX rims

What color do you think I should paint my RSX rims if I have a NHBP coupe?

I can't find where to make a poll...

anyways, the options I'm considering are:

Gunmetal
Black
Black with red lip (TA) - would that look tacky with RSX rims?



I'm leaning towards Gunmetal the most and with TA the least

i honestly think the TA style is just WAY TO PLAYED OUT and i think white or bronze would look good. but thats just my .02

The black on the TA would be a high glossy black fyi

i dont think ta is too played out. maybe online but how many cars do you see with ta out on the road? but i dont think that ta'ing those specific wheels would look that great. i would have to vote for gunmetal here.

I'm hesitant to do TA because I think the spokes are too thin and it'd look funny

I also have a set of 17" Type-S wheels I was considering painting/powder coating. I was thinking of a lighter gunmetal colour like the older Type-S 16" wheels.

The reason I was going to paint them because they dont have tires on em yet and I want to look different.

So it seems most votes are going towards Gunmetal or leaving it stock.... Where are the mods with a poll option
