Picture Request red on gold

Im in the market for some new wheels and im torn between colors. I like white and black but I have seen a few cars that look amazing with gold wheels. So I want to see if anyone has any pictures of a chili red (white top if possible) with gold rims. Much appreciated.

I haven't seen one. I almost went for gold Volks for my CR/W but played it safe with a mesh silver to start.

I think gold will look great with the right wheel.

I think gold would work with any dark color including Red.

Here is a Miata in red with gold wheels and polished silver lip.

I think a gold would work much better than dark bronze on a CR/W...

This looks good now to make that green turn magically into red.




And wake i think your right I dont think bronze would work very well. I thought about it all day and decided that probably wasent an option.

Here's a quick (read: 1 minute) photoshop to make the car red. Like I said, I think gold would work really well with the right drop/stance. Hope this helps...

If you're thinking about the type of wheel to buy, I suggest the MSR 029 wheel in 18" custom powdercoated gold, but leaving the fake rivets polished.

Check the wheel out, you WON'T be disappointed! I have the wheels on my lowered red/white/white MCS with painted wheel arches, but in white. I am going to have the wheels on one side of the car re-coated gold, so that I give a different effect on each side of the car...after all, you can only see one side of the car at a time, right??

Wheels look good but I wont be getting 18s . 17s will be the size I get, this mini will eventually see decent amount of track time. I like the style very classy lookin let me see if I can make em gold now.
