Cool What color should I do my vics?
So i want some opinions on what color i should do on the mesh of my crown vic rims.

Currently gold with the polished lip which looked good on my ugly black vert.
ALL the parts from my vert are getting swapped to my white 87 sport.im not too sure on how the gold will look on a white car but probably not good imo. Car of course has the black molding and now has black tii mirrors, matt black hedlight covers and a carbon fiber hood. So i was thinking of doing black mesh but i am not sure.

sorry i only have a few pics of the white car.

Gold wheels look great on a white car.

Stay away from black imo.

Agreed, I normally use black to hide ugly wheels. Crown vics aren't ugly wheel haha.

I say keep 'em gold. Gold rims look great with white, jet black, and crimson red vehicles.

By the way... That white FC looks like it is in great condition.

That black vert looks tough!

Keep them gold. I'd say go white if it were any color other than a white FC. But wow those looks sweet just like they are now! Clean car too... I can't wait to see more pics!
