I think your car would look best with the gold GTA wheels. Here's one of my favorite birds on these boards with your paint scheme and black GTAs. :hail:

See the pics of my car on my sight. I had the Charcoal wheels powdercoated Silver and polished the lip. Also using Silver center caps and lug covers.

Paint them the grey that is on the bottom of the car. I like mine in gun metal that matches my lower paint.

Trust me when I say it looks hot. Here's a similar car - only with red instead of blue.

I agree that the gold would look good, but IMHO,black and blue/grey is AWESOME.

...the gold is typically my choice, but I've always loved that blue/grey combo with the black GTA's.

That's Maui blue with silver,correct? I'd go with either silver,charcoal or black in that order with that shade of blue. I'm going with a set of black wheels on my Formula but mine is black on black so the choice was obvious.

black/charcoal - timeless cool.

Honestly I like the look of polished silver or grey GTA rims the best. Black and Gold are my second choices. I got the black ones and I think they look great. Black and Grey rims look good with any color period.

I think in that photoshop the back ones look gunmetal. I think gold would look interesting too. Has anyone ever just taken off the color all together and just polished the whole rim to its natural silver color?
