Silver is boring, however I may have to agree with RR. Gold may be exciting, but have you seen other cars with gold wheels? Will you have anything else on the car that will complement the gold? I find gold a litle bright, so for me bronze is perhaps a better choice. Good luck D1~

Between those 3 color choices, I think that's the only one that fits a black car.





White is pain in the ass to keep clean and gold just screams attention whore. I would prefer brushed AL look or a diamond graphite vs a straight silver.

Silver = ZZzzzzzzz.....

Gold isn't bad, but bronze would be better.

White is pretty badass in my opinion, but you have to stay on top of keeping them clean.

Agreed.

Black car with white wheels will be pretty high maintenance, but it'll look good if you can keep it clean.

In Scion black:

-Silver is more elegant.

-White and Gold is more racing.

I prefer the white, because the center wheel is silver.

I would personally do gold, silver then white. Silver does look really nice with black though. White looks cheap, almost looks like plastic. Never really been a fan

Have you thought of black? I'm getting a set of DR-34s for my CBS BRZ and they look good on their site.
