Need some opinions!!

What does everyone think about gold on Brilliant silver? Here is some background on my sedan. When I get these wheels on I will have a black roof/blacked out tail-lights/black front grill/black painted headlights. My debate is between black wheels or gold wheels. I am not sure if the black wheels will be too much black. I was also thinking that not to many people put gold on brilliant silver. I would like to get some opinions.

Could someone photoshop the gold onto the pic of my car? Below are 2 pics of the wheels..

I would go with Gunmetal.

The gold would be left field since gold and silver don't match and on top of that you will have a black roof and dark head and tails that too much going on because there is nothing there to blend with the gold.

It's hard to find a set of black rims with a chrome lip that looks good on silver. It would take away from the black roof. The best choice would be Gunmetal with a chrome or stainless steel lip the wheels will compliment the headlights and tail light overlays and the black roof instead of there being too much of a black theme on Silver.

Yeah I was thinking about that but im not really a fan of gunmetal. I really like the gold but like you said, I dont know if it will look right on a BS. I might look into silver.

I voted for black personally BUT, there are shades of GOLD that would look good with BS. I think it would come down to the style and the right shade of gold.

The Sevas gold is light and that would look clean but the black roof and headlight overlays would be too busy I think. I'll wait to see what it looks like on your car and may try it out myself.... I know it's wrong but...

Hahah...Im not sure which way I am going to go. I might try it because its different. If I dont like it I can always get new ones. Not sure yet. I would like to hear some more opinions.

Could someone photoshop the gold sevas that are on the Z onto my sedan?

Use this pic to do a photochop. It sits closer to the angle of the picture you provided.
