Wheel finish options (sick of these threads yet?!) :)

I'm fed up of the condition of my wheels letting my car down (more-so than the rest of the car!). They weren't in the best of nick when I got the car (July 2009) (lots of lacquer peel, an indentation on one, kerb rash on all) so I sanded them back and a bit and sprayed them black. I got bored of that pretty quickly as I thought it looked quite cheap. Sanded back again and sprayed 040 white to match my paintwork. They look 'OK' but I've never been too happy with them just due to their - aforementioned - overall condition.

 

Long story short, I'm going to get them properly refurbished so that they are in as new condition. I'm back and forth as to what finish to opt for though and was looking for some opinions :)

 

I'll link up pictures of the original silver, the black and now current white finishes.

 

I'd have considered something silly (Kawasaki Green for sure) a while back, but I fancy something looking a bit nicer and less comical :D

 

The body of the car isn't quite finished so the pictures I'll be showing don't represent how it will be ending up. I've got an HKS Kansai carbon front lip, Shine rear carbon diffuser and Top Secret sideskirts still to go on. :)

 

Anyway, here are the pictures:

Opinions (and photoshops if you are able!) welcome :)

Any decent pics of bronze wheels on a white car (preferably a Supra!)?

 

Of the 3 I've had, I definitely have liked the white the most! I don't know if I'm still considering the silver just because I want CCW Classics and they'd be silver so it'd get me used to it haha!

 

Indecisive is my most hated word! :)

Lime green centers then with polished lip :)

 

Any good with photoshop? :D

 

I am hesitant on an 'out-there' colour because I don't want it to look cheap. :) I also can't help but think that it'd be too much to have the calipers and wheels both green?! :)
