New wheel color good choice?

I just got my car wheels back and wanted to show them off. I think the girl made a good choice on the color. I have been spending a lot on the car and told her to pick a color.

Nice ame wheels. The face color just doesn't flow with the car, especially on a stockish car, it would be difficult for even a very aggressive car to pull those wheels off unless the car was orange. Would have been nice to do a satin black center with the gloss black lip if you wanted something different.

As long as you enjoy them, that's all that matters.

What's the point in asking after you changed the color? Just go with your gut instinct.

Just wanted to know what people thought. That and to show them off. They look better in person.

I like the color. Not too many people will have it. It will make your car unique for sure. And ALMOST any color would go good with black. Just need to spice up the body a bit.

In my opinion it flows pretty well. I hate black rims and am not a fan of chrome wheels either. What you did was right for the car

I've never really been a fan of bronze/gold wheels, but I DO think the black lip with lighter center thing is interesting. I started seeing that on some of the examples on the Kenesis Web site a few years back on Porsches, though with a dark grey anodized center.

I think that would make the car 1000 times better. Well.. wingless is good to. I think the stock Zenki bumper looks boring and dated on the car. A 99 or burnout front end with the Feed sides and the Feed or 99 wing would look sexy. Throw in a nice, flowing diffuser for the rear and it would be ****.

i personally dont like the black car w/black wheels. you need color contrast and i think you did a good job.
+1 on getting some feed side skirts. you already have an aftermarket front bumper on there, if you can make it around town with that then you'll be ok with the side skirts.

Looks nice but I think the center caps need to be painted black or orange too. The chrome is throwing it off.

Im going to order the Feed sides and lower the car about an inch in the back and 3/4 in the front. Then i am going to get some good pics of the car. the orange is a dark orange. I think it goes good with the car. I will look into getting the centers painted. thanks
