Need some advice on my wheels for next season

Alright so my wheels are a little scuffed up and i want to refinish them and do something new next season. Currently running Rotiform Neu's and I don't know what color i want to redo them in. I need opinions

The hardest part is that the wheels are a fat five spoke wheel so i feel like certain colors wouldn't go well. I was thinking White, Silver or a bronze. maybe a gunmetal with a bronze tint to it. Idk. I have one friend who said i should do White with black or silver flake in it. I just want to know what ya'll think.

Not true, it just gets so cluttered with threads that it's easy to get pushed out of the first page lol.

I actually like how it looks right now. But I know you want something fresh.

Hmm, how about leaving the surface spokes a machine finish and the rest of the wheel/barrel in black?

They look really nice to me the way they are now. But I could see a gunmetal or graphite color looking really nice.

What size and brand tires are u running with the rotiforms(fitment looks really clean) ? Going to pick up a set of 8inch wide wheels and trying to see what people are running with them
