Post pics of white IROC's with black or gold rims

Am seriosuly thinking of changing my rims to black. The Gold does look good though. Want to see an assortment of the best colours on 16" IROC rims.

Help me make up my mind

Thanks,
Felix

Felix,

I personally like your rims the way they are just now in gold. cool: It's a bit more unusual to see them in gold, especially in the UK. Though I concede that if I was you and they were getting polished and re-done I'd be sorely tempted to go down the black route. My main reason for this would be for the added contrast with black on a white car

Have you decided yet?

Gordon

P.S. I'm waiting for people now to jump in and state that the black ones are faster. :

Thanks for the picture.

Gordon,

I'm still not 100% sure. I, like you, think the black wheels would work well with the black around the headlights and on the hood louvers & side strips. This is how it may look with the black;



I would take off the door sticker.

And Gold- sorry I haven't got the same shot, but you get the idea;



Black one's ain't faster- ask Willie and his supercharged beast

Felix, Felix, Felix.

I'm surprised that you have still not come to terms with the fact that the black ones are faster. We may have to settle this once and for all.

As for the wheels. I still like the gold. Why are you thinking of changing the color?
