Default Time for new rims

Ok, I am thinking about changing to a new style of rims. Here is what I am thinking about using:





With this car:



Since the car is black I am thinking that gold rims would look tonally right. Besides they are dip dish what makes it even more attractive to me. What do you guys think?

Since you already have a quality JDM wheel (looks like Work?) Why not just get those anodized since you want gold (not really my bag).

IMO, the wheels are good, maybe do something else with the $$$

I don't think you should go with gold. If you do, please have your emblems gold plated so that they match.

Well, I don't specifically need gold, I can get those in any color. I am just a little tired of my wheels, just need some kind of change. Might just upgrade to 20's and stay with the same style wheels.

Any suggestions? I don't really like dish ones much either though.

Spinners are too expensive for what they are (I am talking original limited edition Davins, I would not do others) and mesh are for sports cars. They look awesome on BMW's.

I am thinking either some kind of Work, WEDS Kranze Cerebus dip dish...you know...the "luxury" rims.

I think the ABFlug wheels are a 'lil too sporty for the LS. WEDS Kranze Cerebus II is a wheel I'd definitely consider. I also like the Work IS and N2. Hey Pete, what about Fabulous Profound? Now that's what I call luxury.

There is one problem with Fab's...the price...they are way too expensive since you see them take up 5 pages of advertising on any VIP mag. No Benz wheels
I still need a quote for the WEDS...we'll see.
