The car looks amazing, best of all with the burgundy refurb'ing.

Dom you car is too nice to be tatting it up with gold wheels. The darker grey looks quite good, but on yours i'm not sure you'd do better than factory silver with a polished lip?

The burgandy ones look a little OTT imo but the grey one's look fantastic. Black centers with a polished lip would tie in with all the chrome and black trim on the car, but the wheels themself won't look as nice.
