Question Gold crown Vic's on arctic silver?

I just got some crown Vic wheels and wondering if I powder coat them gold/polished lip if they will look good on my arctic silver convertible.or what color you guys recommend.

Here is a picture of my vert when I first bought it.

What's the car look like now? Crown Vic can look awesome IF done correctly (see Macs fc). Otherwise they will look like ****.

Here's mine on my black FC. Slightly darker gold, but same concept. I think they'd look alright on silver, but the two would clash slightly IMO. Since they're the same tone, it would look better on a darker color. Black spokes would look ideal I think.

Haha thanks for the pic.
I am leaning towards gunmetal or black,or maybe something like what we did on our rx2.
Powder coated black with polished lips and front mesh face

At stock heights I'd say they're not gonna look incredible. However, I would go for the gold. I'm all about doing the opposite of what people advise. I'm an askhole lol. Once you slam it, it's gonna look vedy nyyyyyyyce....

I was gonna go gold on mine. But I opted out because I wanted a more unique color scheme, and because I did gold on my last FC with Lincoln meshies, and I didn't want to make the same car over again. But it is a good look, I photo shopped that scheme when I was trying to figure out what color to powder coat my wheels.

Here is my car currently (Vibrant Red)

P_lav, your 'old' car looks identical to your new car. If you actually gave a **** about its looks you'd get yourself some coils. You plaster this thing everywhere, it's your typical, dime a dozen Arctic Silver S4 with Crown Vic's. Something any kid with $700 and a tire iron could do.

Do you not think I want coils? I'm sorry I'm not loaded and cannot afford real JDM name brand wheels, or Tein Monoflex's, doesn't mean that I'm gonna go buy Godspeeds and have my suspension blown in a season. Besides, this is a question about CROWN VIC WHEELS. So yeah no **** I would post here, the guys looking for examples of what his car would look like.
