It's either gold centre with polished rim, standard colour centre with polished rim, standard colour all over, or nogaro centre and polished rim.

Here's some pics to help!!

Car is white BTW!

I was sceptical about the gold but as soon as I saw the picture :drool: I was decided it has to be Gold with polished rim. Those wheels are sooo amazing and in that colour your eyes get drawn to them (in a trans like state)

Gold! Looks lovely.

I have a paint code for an excellent gold for wheels if you want it - let me know & I'll dig it out for you.

Have to go against the flow here and just say that I don't like the gold ones at all. Not my bag.

I'd prefer it with either Nogaro or black centres with polished lips.

i have been telling you for months my welsh friend

those pics of gold centres on white car look the bollocks

go and get them done ffs!!

it will look amazing.

hard work with polished lip to maintain but i have a couple of products that make it a lot easier

tho you have to wipe wheels down after every use without fail or they will spoil and its not easy to get back

Sorry but I think the gold rims look horrid, even worse on a white car - chavtastic :(

I'd go for one of the silvers with a polished rim. Looks like I'm the odd one out here though
Cheers,

Gold wheel's go well on green car's ie, Gouky(i think his user name is that?....green tourer)

I really like the Gold rim's and they do look the best out of them all as other's have said but the Nagaro would go so well with a white M3 :wink:

Remember, once you've made your choice, that's it! LOL

what about white centre?? dark centres dont suit light cars in my opinion, and the gold does look nice but a bit too boy racer for my liking. and i have never seen a set with white centre section and polished lip, would be unique, photoshop anyone?
