    I think you should do a solid color no doubt though....

    Remember with a light color you will have to be on top of brake dust after each drive. A darker color will hide dust wear.

    I think a nice bronze would be amazing with that blue. Blue and bronze go perfect together.

    Champagne, to me, is like a light gold. Doesn't have to be metallic. I'll try find some examples tomorrow

    I could give it a whirl. I won't have any hw tomorrow haha.

    Ah, so something non metallic. That could be a nice option, but it depends on the specific color. To me those just look like a yellowed white, I'd rather have a purer white like Alpine.

    I would say champagne is sort of like the color of these wheels in the first few pics

    I'd vote either solid color or face color and polished or maybe a plain silver lip? Idk. I'd do full champagne, though.

    Oh god that's gorgeous. And orange is supposedly a good color with blue but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if ill need shortened housings at this point lol because I may not be too low. If anything, camber plates are on the todo list before that, but these wheels are first.

    So if I go with a white face, what would a good lip color be? I'm willing to do polished, but that may not be perfect with the state of the lips. How about a graphite center like F34R posted, but with a white lip instead of orange?

    Plain silver is out because its too generic. I'm having a really hard time balancing the colors between too boring and too flashy.

    I vote to finish the Type A's in BBS sliver. They are not the 16x9, so the face protrudes into the lip area. I feel it would be too much going on it a 1pc wheel. Then again Dave@ Renewed did these below:

    Save up for the Koni inserts and I will ship you a set of housings finished ;)

    white on bor-bets = end of this thread
    would compliment the blue very nicely
    trust a brown brother.

    White would look good if you're really searching for something other than silver.

    My second vote would be a simple silver + polished lip

    There is always my scheme which is powder coated all silver. I actually really like it.

    I not one for doing more than one color on a set of wheels, especially a clean set of Type A's.

    The blood red was a bold, but good move. Do something clean that will work well with your car, not with itself. I guess what im trying to say is do one solid color. It just looks clean.
