I have a cypress green ej8 coupe, and want to get some new shoes.

was thinking of gold with polished lip or gunmetal with a polished lip ?

these are the 2 i was deciding between.

that depends on the rim type and the car type aswell to suit it. green gold is ok but gold on a green civic not really unless its a nice rim with fat spokes. rather white stands out more. I use replicas for racing and my gens are for to drive around, why if wreck gen racing cost to much to buy, if replicas cheap as shit.

lol i would prefer to keep the replicas for everyday wankers to scratch and keep my genuine ones with good tyres on for racing in my cupboard with my clothes lol the genuine ones are forged properly, are stronger and are better weight for racing - its what they are designed for, ur not gona race on the street so whats the point
