The wheel is technomagnesio Detroit F1
I personally prefer regular silver, but I think this looks good too...
What do you think?

Picture looks fake. The wheels are a little too large looking like 20". Running on 1" rubber belts. Like dragsters. Bring it down to 45 series. See what it looks like then.

the picture is fake, modified with photoshop you can see the wheel is not spinning...

I just want to see how it looks :smile: :smile:

because I've seen ElectricBlue MCS with gunmetal/anthrachite wheel, which imo looks wrong too...

I'm sorry... but you've got Silver, white, black & gold? Too much there! You should have gone silver & black.

Thumbs down from over here. Too much clashing of colors. Don't find the style really works with the rest of the car either. Sorry man. But it's just my opinion. To each their own.
Cheers,

Try the black wheels they have at Tire Rack they might be good. They look good on the Blue/blk, red/blk and yellow/blk not sure how they would go on that car.

I agree about how bad it looks! Fortunately that is just a photoshop splice & not a real person's car! I think anyone who chose that combination must be color blind?!?!

There's only one brand of car that should have gold wheels....Subaru.

Ick. MAYBE on an Indi Blue, but that's a pretty nautious idea in of itself. No thank you.

Gunmetal on a DS/B, ya..maybe.
