This is the main reason I went with gold. I really like white but it seems like you would need to wipe them down after every drive. My car isn't a daily and I still don't want the hassle. I'm not a fan of the Enkei shade of gold though. Someone had some bronze powdercoated RPF1, looked really nice.

I say go with gold but if you go with white, they should be the same color code as the S2000.
My wheels are painted GPW.

Tacky? You saying the oem ITR is tacky?
i repeat, imo, white wheels are tacky. that includes OEM ITR, NSX-R, etc. wheels. again, no offense to anyone w/tacky, white wheels.

I agree with this. I find any color other than silver/gray, black/charcoal (debatable, especially on a black car), or gold/bronze to be ricey. Yes, this includes 997 GT3RS with all sorts of wacky colors for their OEM wheels - green, orange, etc. etc.

I especially think white on white looks ridiculous, as does black on black.

Again, just opinions, since that's what you're asking for - nothing objective here, all subjective.

To answer your question - bronze/gold if those are my only two options. If not, some sort of charcoal-black, it hides brake dust the best, especially if you run race pads and track your car a lot, which if you do, definitely do not get white...
