I'd go with Gold. Gold on WDP is money.
Or you can go with the Silver w/ chrome lip.
Or you can go with WDP color match w/ chrome lip.
Either way its gunna look nice.
Dang I want some rims!

He decided to go with brushed aluminum and he did them himself. He cant post right now cause he got temp banned. So here is what it looks like.

Brushed aluminum...typically the most expensive finish you can get (most people don't DIY)...very nice. I love my brushed wheels. Looking forward to seeing them on the car.

Gold is the way to go, but I think gold gets a great affect on pearl whites.

I know he spent alot of money on these wheels and other mods, that he is still in the search for tires, so hopefully he will get them mounted soon and so on the car. Still real nice wheels

Gold center wheels with silver polished lips looks awesome on WDP.

I wanted to get 19" Gold center Volk GT-S but $3k for just wheels was TOO much.

Me neither, but I did a little research online and found a few ways to do it and came out pretty good. Well in my eyes.

Since it was already a polished finish it made it really easy to work with. all I did strip the existing clearcoat and used a red scotchbright pad (its about 300-400grit) and gently in only one direction make the brushed lines. then painted automotive clearcoat and bah bam!!

I do profesional rim refinishing and stuff. Well, not for a full time job, just a sidejob/hobby. Been doing it for a couple of years now. So this project wasnt exactly too hard for me.
