Hi all, after some opinions please.

Basically I have two sets of the same wheels but cant make my mind up which set look best. The plan was to use one set for my winters and one set for my summers but they are both in almost 'mint' condition so either can be used.

So which do you prefer:

Gold





Black





Comments please

Didn't think I would say this but I prefer the gold!!

Bean592

This is the problem, I have never liked gold wheels but I got this set cheap with the intention of having them referbed, but they are in too good condition to waste money referring them so I put my winters on then and on the car.

Now I must admit I kinda like them, hence my thread :/

Looks like my old blob, reg number doesn't end with KTT does it?!!

Gold for me.

looks great in gold fella

dazsti72

black suits your car colour better.. imo

Bean592

No pal it doesn't end in KTT

Gold gets my vote. Every ones doing black.

Bean592

Another for gold and only one for black, I get the feeling others feel the same as me, looks more OEM in gold

PhilWrx100

Not a bad thing. nothing wrong with OEM :-)

on your car go bronze or gunmetal, otherwise leave them gold

Gold I think looks better with the grey mate.

Black looks more stealthy imho, harder to make out the wheels in black tho must be honest but i still think it loos more angry on black

Bean592

What's plastidip? :/

rubberised spray paint

didn't read the original post properly, i'd sooner change your black set than mess with the oem colour

pcressie

Gold for me. Black hides the detail of the wheel

Bean592

Ahh ok, and yes as I said I dint want to shell out to repaint/ plastidip either set as there both in very good condition already

Thanks for the input an defiantly steering towards sticking with the gold

Black

If I had to choose between the two I would say gold.
But if you plan to refurbish a set I'd go for light anthracite or silver.

Bean592

I would agree that "ideally' I'd go for anthracite but as both sets are in good condition I can't see the point in spending the extra money tbh.

When reading I automatically thought black but must admit the gold looks better

GH80

I would go silver tbh

Brun

Neither

keefcliff

In the same state of mind myself have a O2c Blue blobeye, with a choice of Black or Gold
wheels keep swapping over its tough, I think anthracite is the way forward. The black does look mean with Silver and the Gold looks well I have to say it GOOD.

Bean592

Cheers for the input

Gold looks great with the silver, but if it were my car, I'd have the black.

I prefer black

why not mix thing's up a bit, put the gold on drivers side and black on passenger side (matched tyres obviously)

Black for me but I'd add a black front splitter and do the black headlight mod to really set it off.
