Default Need Opinions!!!! Gunmetal or White???

Hey guys,
for the summer i am deciding on what wheels to get. As you know there are a set of gunmetal le-37's for sale in the classifieds and grupe-s has a set of white te-37's in stock ready to be shippd, prices are 1940.00 and 1995.00 respectivly.
anyways, i am having a hard time deciding on what would look better on Daytona blue.
I really like the photochop of the white te-37's but it *may* be too ricey, and loud. i am 16 though.
i just dunno how gunmetal le-37t's will look like. especially in gunmetal.

need opinions!!!
thanks

Get the LE's because they will look killer in gunmetal with the polished lip on your DB.

There's no decision to be made! You're not driving a electron blue pearl civic si! You're driving a Z!!!!!!
The gunmetal with the polished lip is a timeless look. Plus, the white TE's will be a ***** to keep lookin' good! :brakedust:

Again, it's just my opinion. Go with what will make u happy.

he tossed out the TE, and is not either LE or GT7.

Im assuming both gunmetal.

but I prefer the understated simple appearance of the LE/TE design(I think their the same, just the polished lip) to the GT7. but neither is a bad choice, its your car, so it really depends what YOU want.

Whatever you do, DON'T get white wheels! Please! I have yet to see a car with white wheels that didn't look like a total ricer. No offense, but that color wheel just screams it to me.

White wheels show brake dust and road filth like mad. I think they will stain after a while too. If don't you want to wash your car once a week, get the gunmetals. The gunmetals will look better longer, and you won't look like a boy racer.

I disagree that white wheels are rice. Yes there are many sport compacts like the civic and integra that sport white wheels but more often than not, it's the mass market that starts and propagates trends and style simply due to the numbers of affordable cars in the import aftermarket. And these cars are inspired like most aftermarket modifications be it domestic or import by auto racing. I would definitely say it's loud but i think daytona blue and redline would be the best body colors for white wheels.

White is not a bad color, but it has to put carefully matched by the car's appearance and color. It also has many disadvantages such as being vulnerable to brake dust, road dust and so on. They usually get dirty pretty easily, and sometimes those dirts stuck on it and doesn't go away easily.
However, well, this my personal opinion but I prefer gunmetal a lot over white and they look awesome on some cars. They are also more resistent to dirts.
So, I would say GUN all the way~!
