RL7 testing
Tried one of my gold RL7 on the car today, got some mixed views on facebook about the colour being gold
I think it makes the moonstone look so much better than the darker colour wheels that are on it.
Any comments welcome

White is a option, I do have two sets so could have one set gold one white, just not into anything Dark like Anthracite or black.

White RL7s are played out beyond belief, which is why im doing mine gold for my white fiesta rs turbo!!
And i think moonstone or any silverish car with white wheels, looks tacky as fuck!!!
Silver or antracite would suit your car mate!! Gold would suit a white or black cossie.

Not keen on the gold either!! Maybe slightly wider tyres too as they look a little stretched?

Gold looks good but IMHO that's the wrong shade of gold
That looks like Asian gold when you need bling bling Jamaican gold

They look well! I think moonstone works well with the gold,but i reckon a few shades lighter on the wheel colour is what u need.

Okay so today I have tried another set of Racelines on the car, these are a different shade of gold as you can see, the centres need changing for the correct flat type.
