I'm afraid I am going to have to agree with everyone else, Gold does not work on Silver. Well, in my opinion anyway.

Gold wheels look fatastic on a silver car, after all the Jap STI version all have gold wheels, no matter the color.

Don't be boring and put anthtracite wheels, or if you do, you can as well buy an Audi.

Nice car, Doom, looks almost like mine!!
Anyway, it can clearly be seen that with gold wheels, the car is more "headturning" than with anthracite wheels (black winter alloys are just about the same)....

I have a set of speedlines on my car. they were silver but I got them powder coated Lamborghini Gold (Dark gold less shiny) very cheap due to my brother's mate doing it. The look great on my car but it is Dark Blue.
My recommendations for car colour to wheel colour are:

Dark colour Scooby (eg Black or dark blue(not P1 colour)) gold wheels
Silver Scooby Silver Alloys.
Red Scooby White wheels.
Other colours I dunno (white cars tend to look good with either gold or silver)

gold wheels on a silver car look fine. However, you really do need a "champagne silver" car to get away with it and v. big wheels.

Small alloys on a pure silver colour can look a bit gash.

I'll put a pic up to proove if someone can tell me how to do it!!

Please please do not do gold, you will be arrested! (if not hand yourself in)

Ps in my very very humble opinion those wheels are awful,in any colour. I may be bias and have oz super L's in anthracite (follow the flock baa baa)
