White or Gold on Rallye Red

Typically i'm not a big fan of these types of threads, but seeing as how I can barely pick out clothes colors that look good on me, figured i'd ask 8th for their opinion.

I picked up a set of G-Games 77w's not too long ago for my RR FG2, but now i'm thinking i'm going to sell them and pick up some Advan RGIIs. Always loved that rim on smaller Hondas.

Torn though between Gold or White. White on a red car is kind of a classic look, but also kind of an "old" look. I've always loved gold on bright red cars, but i'm a little worried that it's a look that i'll get tired of.

Shopping around right now, getting some prices and might end up ordering in the next few weeks or even days. Was going for the 18x8 with +37 offset (have NeoGen 225-40-18 tires). Which color would you go with?

someone here awhile ago had some gold RGII but i think that he only posted a couple of pics.
i tried a quick photoshop but the color of the RG's is kinda off.. but its a general idea.




and this would be what the 17's look like

Yeah, saw that one. Thanks though.

Yeah, pretty sure i'm going to go gold. Think i'd get sick of the white on red.
