White doesn't look bad. Gold needs to be a darker shade IMO for it to look good (i.e. the gold that's on a lot of WRX/STI).

Agree with the white! That gold looks like you put some body filler on the rims no offense lol
 
I'm not sure why, but I like the gold rims more(with a darker tint than the photoshop of course) Maybe I'mm biased because I'm from quebec and lots of the french ricers have white rims, the gold stands out more and with stay clean longer with brake dust, dirt,sand and all that good stuff!
 
Idks if its ur style but Mayan gold looks pretty good. I'm going to be painting my rims that Color but my car is red
 
im still up in the air on what to choose, i know that if i pick a color and i dont like it i can always respray it. i just dont want to do it twice haha
 
I Have Gold/Bronze painted stock rims on my Midnite blue P5. Here is a pic

It looks great. It took about 5 cans to get good coverage and a lot of cleaning.
