Red or gold wheels

[opalmtx]

My wife has a 96 red sho. We bought it used, all the chrome, key locks, oval edges. etc. were gold. She wants gold wheels, I suggested painted body color, red wheels. What does everyone else think would look better. Neither of us likes silver chrome on her car.

Ugh...if not silver or chrome then choose a color like gunmetal or black. Yeah, black! That would look sweet. TR with black wheels. Yummy. Red or gold wheels would not look good at all, IMHO.

I've seen red beemers with gold bbss that looked sweet, black is a good option thanks for your input.

I agree....red or gold rims would not be a very good match for your sho. I honestly would go for the chromies......but I also think that black would look very niiiiice too

Red or gold rims would be too "****-mobile".

I vote Gunmetal.

What about an old style "BBS" type wheel where the center could be a matching red, or a contasting gold or black and the outside portion of the wheel be a thin chrome or aluminum ring? I think the style I am trying to describe is called "bead lace", you know the kind that could be found on a '90-something Bonneville. The gold accents though, ummmmmm I dunno, all I can say is too each his own.

After careful consideration and of course consultation with my wife, she's decided to get black wheels. I thought gold might be too gaudy.

Cannot go wrong with black

Good choice. Got a link to a pic of the rims? Or are you just going to paint the stockers? Still want a pic either way.

Don't hold your breath on pictures, they're going to be a Christmas present from me to her. 99% chance I will try to find different wheels. I'm putting a sticky note on computer to remind me to e-mail pics, if you have any links to sites with cool black wheels I would welcome help, thanks again.
