Mmmm..... my personal opinion is neither gold or white look good on that style
, i personally like the white one better, like takahashi said, the Volk Racing TE37 will suit ur car, other option maybe Volks GT-C or CE28N, or maybe the SF-challenge, but i dont think they're available in white
, like Revolver said get 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears will be perfect for the 8's

However, don't rely on pics alone - some wheels look much better (or worse) in the metal.

TT, what style/theme are you after?
imo, i think silver would be "normal" for most ppl, and white is more JDM (ie. japanese domestic market) style, and bronze is more rally style (think the wrx rally cars). but then again, it is your car, do whatever tickles your fantasy.
yep thats the one i have atm, i have the shadow grey ones and Kunal have the chromed version. me thinking of new wheels when i get back to sydney....... ;-)

I think it depends on the color of your car and also the type of rim....some gold rims are really too BLING BLING but others light the Gram lights are really noice...I went thru the same decision process for my black cherry....I was considering gold or bronze...but after careful deliberation ie looking at rim styles, available styles and a good photochop to see which color looked the best I went with Axis Hiros in bronze....I originally wanted the gram lights, they would have been my first choice but they didnt come in 19in

Try and throw me off from copying you all you like, it won't work!
Actually, I agree. But if two 8s in diff cities have the same wheels, I can live with that. Perhaps not in the same city if they drive together much, they'd look like the Bobsie Twins.

I guess you both have different color 8s too. However those rims I showed u Tim look awesome, even in the chrome. And i dont think any1 else has them or would get them. I think they are limited to that supplier i told u.
anytime taka!
i also have work emotion cr kai as my back up wheels.

Some great pics. 
I can understand why the Work's are backup wheels - the Volks look much better IMHO.
The wheel nuts are very distinctive - how did you get them so bright? Are the anodised? Assume paint would simply chip off.
