Planning on purchasing a set of 14x7 RPF1s for my white NA, however im having trouble debating between gold or silver.

Silver seems like the safe choice, but some pictures of the gold RPF1s look amazing with almost a subtle hint of copper in them while other pictures look to be almost yellow.

For those that have gold or have seen gold RPF1s in person, what do they really look like?

Heres what some show, which almost has a copperish tint to it:

While others show a more of a yellowish tint to it:

Obviously Enkei doesn't have two shades of gold, so the color must be light dependent, but for those who have seen these in person, which one is a more accurate shade across the majority of lighting situations?

The top ones are painted I believe. Color correction on photo can also change the looks too. You can try a can of bronze paint and see if you like it. I wanna say the paint Bronze has the copper like finish with a bit of gloss.

go for the gold, im guessing the color difference you are seeing is just from lighting and different cameras.
