I vote for the black. Gold looks best on white cars imo. I've done chrome so long I'm getting tired of it. The black wheels on my black GS look hot. Do the black.

I thought this is a coupe

As for the question, how about black on bronze?

I like my black w/ chrome lip. Not feeling the gold except on a white car.

I chose Black with a nice deep chrome lip, thats what I'm doin eventually.

IMO...Gold way overpowers the car and its all you notice.....if it was a coupe and was acutally fast (do you have 250 or 350?) then gold would be good, but you don't have both of those so, don't go gold.

I voted gold, because it is still sort of original, and looks dam good, only cars I have seen here with gold rims are the ones that come from the factory with gold 15" bbs wheels

other choice I would go is chrome, black I agree is too played out...or is really popular right now

I did not realize gold rims were this popular. Not my cup of java. Brushed aluminum would be nice imo.

Black wheels will never play out. I had black 5 spoke Enkei's in 1990. They were cool then and cool now. There was a black wheel explosion a couple years ago and yes, that has ended but I wouldn't say they are played out. It's just back to normal...where the only people choosing them should be those where it matches a color theme or flow of mods.

i have had black with chrome lips, gunmetal, and silver....... i am now getting bronze for my onyx black. I would say they all look good. But if you want to make statement get gold. I have seen alot of black on black and IMO when you see black 14" rims on a hyundai its time to find a new trend.
