Default What colour wheels on a white 3dr?

I've got a set of 18" RL7's that I either want to sell or have powder coated for my car but I can't decide what colour will look best. Any ideas, pics, etc. The 16" Speedlines that are on the car now will be sold shortly.





Regards
Wes

Hey cousin Richie, what's up? They do look nice in Gold, so that's third on my list after Drak grey and Black.

Rich... I agree white does look good on a white car but I did that on my last car, want to do something different now.

thanks guys

Nice, I think Gold looks best on the white car (must be that Pop's influence!) LOL.
Funny, I had bought RL7's too! Good thing I resold them.. don't want to look like twins LOL

Thanks guys... now I just need some centre caps.
I may actually keep these wheels for a while, besides after 7 sets of wheels in a little over 2 years I need to stop somewhere.

Stucos... I also like the gold/bronze but it seems like every Scooby around has that colour too. I could have had them to you in 3 days (via FedEx)

John... I'm not sure I want the side moldings but I will get them, time for a new sig buddy... if you don't mind

Also guys, I guess because of the offset I was able to install these without any modification to the standard suspension setup(Konis), maybe it's because my car is 4WD the suspension has a little more clearance?
