Although, I love your current look, you'll definitely stand out more with gold rims on DG.

Sorry but I don't like the gold on DG. To each their own.

Not bad...i still think its a little odd. I like what you have now much more! The gold/bronze look should stay on the black and white cars...i saw a red 350z in orlando today...it had bronze wheels and it just didn't flow.

i dont think that will look bad just 1 thing, remember Works gold is pretty dark almost bronzey. Volks gold is more sparkly/lighter shade which I prefer.

If I were you i'd get the volks b/c their shade of gold IMO would look better w/ a silver finish. The darker bronzey gold which Work uses I think looks better w/ black/white.

I spoke with Chris at F1 before I ordered my wheels for my e92 and he confirmed they are darker

Heres what I ended up going with, gold is somewhere between Volks very light gold and Works darker shade almost bronze.

Iforged Essens in race gold

Wheels with color......?

This takes me back, I had gold wheels on my 280Z in '76 when no one else
was doing color. I'm not sure I like gold wheels on DG, but we don't have to
like it Cal cause it's your ride. Gold looks great on IP....OB and even TB and
I've considered it.....again! Love your mesh Works wheels the way they are!
