I like the way it is now, it look good your white car, save money for something else, or just wait to see the these wheels can handle the winter salt? if it is really mess up so do the powder coating next year that hyper black look just like my new 13LX wheels color

so you're doing this to be different from everyone else getting the wheels, yet you want their opinion on how to be different from them?

i like them as is. but if you need to pick out of those 2 color choices i vote for bronze.

As is followed by bronze. However, bronze looks pretty hot.

to be different from the other guys that own LFA reps here on CL, it would obviously be completely to be different from everyone entirely in the wheel world. I know bronze, gold and gun metal are popular in any set of wheels. I'm 100% positive NO ONE has powdercoated their LFA reps.

I voted it leave them as is. But I then I scrolled down and saw your car was white. I see a lot of white with gold rims. I like it and I think it works. I would revote Gold. Leaving it as is on your car now makes it look plan(at least in my eyes).

I vote bronze. White car with gold/bronze rims always look great, but overtime people get bored with it. But since these are your winter wheels, by the time you get bored, it'll be summer and you can switch to your other set. By the time the next winter comes around, enough time should have pass so that seeing bronze rims again is like seeing them for the first time again.

And i second that comment about a white car in the snow...it would be nice to stand out haha

Since your summer set up are (shade of) silver, I say go Gold.
But then again, I'm biased
