Does anybody have pictures cars on gold rims?

I am considering putting these on my 72 dart.

Way cool, specially for the 70's cars.
On darker colors they look right at home. :twothumbs:

FYI, If you were considering bidding on those specific wheels, note they are for 4-lug applications. Otherwise, they look good.

I am making some wheels with race gold centers for my 69 Camaro. I will post pics when they are finished in a couple weeks.

Jon/Jason, you guys need to make a copy of the Enkei/SSR/BBS Mesh wheel in gold/polished. Not that I could, but I would buy those in a heart beat!!

You don't count justin, you have a wheel shop. Thanks to pro-touring and driverzinc I will have 4 sets for my camaro, i if you include the rallys!!!! even though they dont fit over the brakes any more lol. The gold will be awesome too and quite unique i think

I feel like that all gold New Gen could be better with a contrasting color on the hoops. Not sure if black or a brushed would look better, but something.....

Note that they are for small bolt pattern Mopar, which is 5 lugs on a 4" bolt pattern. I think you were reading the description wrong. They wrote 5 on 4, the 4 being inches.

I like a contrast as well. Brushed outers would look great on the right car.

mc84 ---- I am painting the car a dark green with gold flake.. so i think the rims will look good on it.

That sounds like a killer combo...

I like the color combo on the Devious Camaro. White with Gold wheels is awesome.

I prefer the muted gold/bronze used on the Anvil Mustang. Anyone know what the actual color they used?

Gold can be the trick on darker burgundies, Greens and midnight blues. Love the gold.

Im a big fan of gold on darker red cars! But I guess I am a little bias...

XXR 521 (http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_521.shtml) Gold. $160.00 per wheel in 18x10. The best looking economy wheel on the market IMHO. The modular look is spot on... and they have staggered sizes. Around 30 Lbs each though.

18x10 +25

Not a bad looking wheel but the +25 offset will not work on the rear without spacers.

Holy sweet Jesus!!!

Are they available with 5x120.6 bolt circle and a brushed or silver center? If so, I'll order a set tomorrow... :)

Mr.VENGEANCE

07-14-2011, 01:32 PM

yup.. needs spacer

Nope, not in that bolt pattern or color. Some Hub-centric adapters in the width you need would do the trick. I don't think I would personally track it, but others do (If I was looking for a high quality, lightweight, and strong track wheel on a budget, Enkei NTO3+M or RPF1 without question). They don't come with a silver face, but the faux hardware is removable, and you could mask the lip and paint the center whatever color you want. Not saying their comparable to the 3-piece wheels, but a great option for on a budget. You could curb the hell out of it and not have to spend a pay check replacing it.

Hmmm, I think your blue might not be dark enough. Also, with the white stripes, there might be too much going on with the addition of the gold wheels.

LowFast

In everyones opinion what at the best body colors for a gold rim. Obviously white, black, maybe a dark blue. Red and brown/rootbeer also work depending on the shade. I am digging the gold rims as something different that will pass the test of time if done right. Love the Pansport gold center look.

You really need a black car to make it work. Here's mine.

I see you live in Austin, so do I. I love your car! Do you ever take it any local get togethers or shows?

My 16" GTA wheels were gold when I bought them. I kinda felt like I needed to unbutton my shirt a few buttons, glue some more hair on my chest, grab a couple gold chains and aviator glasses and talk like I was from the Bronx for them to feel right so I rattle canned 'em black. No offense to Italians of course, you guys have the best food on the planet, I just don't understand your love for 1980's Caddies and Trans Ams. LOL!

Of course I'm just playin'...

Here's the original and photoshop version of the wheels, sig pic was the real deal...
