I would try to get somebody to photoshop a pic of your car with a set of black wheels you like onto it.

what overall look are you going for? More towards classy or racy? From the sound of it you are considering more of a sporty look like I went for if you are thinking about black wheels. IMO the champagne color you have is more classy. Personally, with that color I would probably go with something in silver with a chrome lip...or maybe even chrome if the wheels aren't ghetto-bling looking.

The photoshop is a good idea. I dont think black wheels would look good on champagne though

See I am not really sure what I am looking for but I am just throwing out some ideas. Could someone do a PS of some black 5 spoke wheels on a champagne GS3?

Thanks,
Elliott

I don't know it might look ok, depending how you do the rest of your car. Deffently want to see the photoshop pics, but I think if you do the right drop and put the right areo kit on it might look pretty cool.

It never hurts to be different. Who knows you might start a trend.

I knew someone with this color combo (albeit with 18" wheels), he was a CL member and his screename was halo11422 (or something like that)

Try a search.

My .02 is with gold you will have to tie it all together, perfect aero, some carbon fiber accents, perfect slam, etc etc. Cant just get a ltuned drop and 20" black wheels on a gold car, it wont "flow" properly.

IMO, black faced wheels hides too much of the detail. Maybe that's a good thing for others, but if I'm paying for high quality wheels, I would want to see the design detail of it.

I hate black wheels so I would say get some chrome or silver. But that's just me.
