I would go with the white. Are you set on those being the only wheels you want?

I would go with WHITE. If you have a Black car...white rims look really good because they make them stand out. Check out some of these pictures that I have on my website:

The white wheels definatly stand out.

Unite: Yeah I want those wheels. Why you got another suggestion?

Koojo: I know white would stand out nicely, but I've got a kind of black tinted silver on right now and I like the sleekness of it. That's why I'm so torn about white or bronze.

Yo Jason....DON'T get the white wheels, too ricey. I do love the bronze CPO35s. Did you know they came out with new ones that has a polish lip? Anyway, I got a few sets of white and gold cpo35s laying around...let me know and I'll hook you up

Out of those two, I prefer the bronze, the whites are a little too ricey for my taste. I think good 'ol silver ones would look best, though....

Depends on the look you want. If you want the "drug lord/pimp/rich kid who knows nothing about cars" look, go with white. Bronze would look better, but I'd want to change all the trim to match. Personally, I'd want my wheels to match the trim, and I assume the trim on the exterior of the car is silver or crome, so I'd go with sliver or crome. But it's up to you really.

I agree 101% percent white is good for an auto show maybe but it will make you look silly in the street.... bronze ....yeck .... what is that look ? " and the oscar for tackiest rims go to ".....

Go silver or if you need some flash " chrome " ( shudder ) ....please don't

Silver if it was me.
But seen it's not me getting them i would go for the bronze. White is a shit of a colour to keep clean on wheels.

I'm leaning toward the bronze right now. The forged CP-035 only come in white or bronze for some reason. Chrome? Dont' think so. I'll be looking into getting a black 2002 G20 grill, if they fit. I don't really like the chrome one all that much.

Although the chrome door sills I heard about sound sweet!

I'd get the bronze ones, I got gold axis se7en's right now on my white g20, stands out quite a bit, white wheels is too played out and ricey IMO.
