Default Opinions on wheel colour please......

I'm thinking of changing the colour of my wheels from gold to a dark bronze colour.

I've doctored the picture below to give myself some idea but would appreciate any other opinions please.

Cheers

I actually prefer the gold! I'm not a fan of dark wheels on a dark car tbh. I think that ruins the look of the RB320, but most of you probably love it! You just kinda can't see anything....it all merges into one. I dunno

I like the bronze

I have gold wheels on a black car, was thinking of going anthracite but seeing the bronze I am very tempted to go for them

But then money isn't of an essence at the moment so will have to stick to what I have for now

I agree, black wheels just disappear into the tyre, you may aswell fit 13in wheels and have 80 Profile tyres on , no kerbing issues either although handling may be an issue?

Glad somebody agrees with me! lol. When I see dark alloys that kinda merge into the tyre and you can't really see em.......it just reminds me of a crappy old fiesta with black steel wheels that the wheeltrims have fallen off I think the RB320 would look SO much better with silver (or at least lighter than black) wheels. And I think ur car looks better as it is with the gold! At the end of the day, it ain't my car tho lol

Thats what got me thinking about a dark gold/bronze colour wheels. The fronts got all caked in brake dust & looked a lot meaner than the back wheels which still looked a bit 'blingy' in comparison.

I'm gonna go for it & paint them.

Lol that also made me think about changing the colour of my wheels too cuz they look quite good when they're covered in brake dust and are a bit darker!!! But then I clean em up all nice and it's like hell yeah that's the **** lol
