Do the centres the same as the car if your gonna sway from stock.

Gold was bit of a wacky idea for sure, Am liking the darker silver/grey i think wont be getting done for a while but thanks for the opinions guys.

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.
