To me, gold looks good on a black car. Not so much on silver...

Not a fan it's not a contrast color that normally goes with silver

This has been my reaction to all gold wheels on silver cars in the past but there is something about these that looks amazing. It may be the silver lip that really sets it off.

I'm enjoying the opinions though everyone. Keep em coming! This decision is tough.

Very polarizing look for sure.

Go Bronz. Not a fan of the gold on silver look.

Looks good. The problem is the actual color and finish. Most gold wheels I've seen are too gold and the finish is shiny. Your pshop looks more like a matte bronze IMO. The best bronze finish I've seen is on the volk te37. If you can get the color and finish to be exactly as in your pic, I'd say go for it
