Default deciding on gunmetal or bronze/gold rims for my PPW..?

i am torn between so many nice rims...i know for a fact im gonna go with 18"s......but i dont know if i should go with bronze or gunmetal....and some of the rims i want (SF challenge and LE37T in gold) only come in 19"
so here are what im thinking of:
--VOLK LE37T in gunmetal
--VOLK TE37 in bronze (or gold)
--Advan Model 5 in bronze

.and I DONT KNOW if the SF winning's are available in 18", but i saw a pair that had bronze but a silver polished lip...NICE!

opinions?

on white i think you should get bronze. white pulls off the bronze perfectly. either way you can't lose. bronze or gunmetal? thats like choosing between pam anderson and carmen electra. can't really go wrong with either.

Gunmetal is nice, but it's getting to be so common. I'd also take into consideration how exclusive the color combination you're running.

I'd choose Carmen Electra over gunmetal any day.
