you know, you're not the first to ask that. The car has to be re-painted so if I'm going to make a color change now is the time. Initially this was my first choice for a color combo, the silver/gray. I have carbon fiber valve covers and cf accents in the interior so I thought it would blend well. Then I decided an old school look was cool, plus I've never sprayed a solid color before so I painted it the VW beige color. After painting/color sanding/buffing I wasn't as thrilled with the color as I thought I would be, then the re-paint issue came up so it made me re-consider my original choices.

It's not set in stone, I can still keep the beige. Maybe I should have added that option to the poll!

I guess I'm the only guy to vote #2. I like the silver and old school 5-spoke's. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them Jody.

so do I, plus I already have them. But I also like the more modern look with the 10 spokes hence the poll!

How about the color you had...and the 10 spokes!

I loved that color too.

The 5 spokes fit the body style so nice, #4. Just look at the back wheels it explodes at you. Darker color on the exterior, looks nicer in direct sun and low light. That car is gonna look awesome, good luck with your choice- Rich

Either body color is great but the five spoke looks like a more natural fit to me. Either way it will be cool.
