White or Black Desmond Evo's? What do you think?

Just got the FD back from the paint shop(Still looking a bit bare without its decals), The debate here is do the Desmonds look better left white or should i go black?

My vote would be for white. I would NOT paint them black, but perhaps a gunmetal would be pretty cool also.

do some photoshop action and see for yourself, i think they may look either weird in black or hot like slipstreams on a honda.

White looks good and clean, and so does the lack of stickers.

I had my Regamaster Evo's done in low gloss black. Kind of wish I went with a full mat black but they still look good.

I personally think white wheels look cheap and ricey... no offense to anyone.

Black wheels on a white car looks great, and so does gunmetal.

I personally think bronze look cheap and ricey too. You rarely see Ferrari's, Porsche's, BMW's etc with white and bronze wheels with stickers on them.
