I voted to keep in white, white TE-37's are much more rare than all the other colors (except Gold ) I don't think a completely gunmetal wheel looks that good on PWP, maybe a gunmetal w/ polished lip like the SSR Comps I had before, but that not possible w/ powdercoating

I really like the white also...usually the white on white is kinda played out, but you did it very nicely...Looks like you matched the two whites exactly...did you?

I like the white wheels but I think if you were to change you should go with a different wheel instead of just going with a different color of the same wheels. Sounds like you are looking for a change, and I'm not sure that changing only the color will do it.

Any acceleration/braking/steering improvement? I would expect a huge difference from almost 10 lbs of rotational mass savings per wheel.

10lb each wheel???? I don't know how much the OEM 17" weight, around 22lb I guess? What's the weight on these TE37??? 14lb???

chrome.... definitely not a fan of chrome rim! Gold from duzy is good but then it will be a copy cat! And I think it weight around 18lb so not much saving over from stock and because of the unsprung weight increase of +1 size, it supposely slow down the accelaration but my butt dyno won't able to tell. So ne1 can help me to do a photoshop on gunmetal or silver?

IMO Bronze Volks are the worst color, only because they're one of the most plentiful colors Volk makes the CE28 and TE37 in

They look pretty nice right now, you could just power coat the lips and leave the spokes white? Do you want them to stand out or fade away?
