Gold alloys on a Red car is awful.

Anthracite is far more suited to Red cars.

Black is ok but Gold.............

White GRA's in 17"

But as you only have a choice of "black and gold" (great song by the way!) I'd go Gold!

I always hated the look of gold wheels and vowed never to get them for my car. But when i chose my last white classic scooby i thought the gold wheels really suited it well so just kept them.
