Wheels opinion

What does everyone think about these wheels? Trying to go with something a little different. Still may go with Vossen wheels.

Very nice. A lot like Vossen, but more details. I like them.

the only thing is you may want to gold plate your emblems to tie the gold accent into the car assuming the car is black.

Car is ultra white was thinking about powder coating the gold parts on the wheel to black or I could see if I can get them in chrome. Not a fan of gold trim is my only issue with the wheels.

dark wheels look good on a white car. You dont put chrome on a sportscar. Maybe ask the manufacturer if they can make dark bolts instead of gold. Vossen has wheels that look like this too that are one piece

They will look great with Nebula Grey. White will be fine too, with the gold bolts, or chrome bolts.

Chrome is so 90's. These wheels look great. Dont worry about the gold bolts.... the brake dust will turn them black after 2 days.
