Default Opinions please!

Been wondering how my 3dr would look with gold wheels for a bit now so got a friend to do a photoshop, I quite like it but got a mixed reaction from friends, just after peoples opinions really please.

It wouldn't have gold centre caps though.

Cheers, Karl



And gold..

If it was a lighter shade of gold (bbs gold) and the arse was down on that car, it would look the absolute nuts!!!

I like the anthracite thou.

I am really pleased with mine in Gold Karl but without being rude to your mate, the photoshop is not doing your car any justice sorry.

Gold and Black was JPS racing colours for years and always looked ok

Gold all the way mate, you must get the right shade though as it will make or break your car.

Haha, yeah I know, it doesn't help that the centres are gold on that pic,, got a choice of blue or silver ones which would break it up I guess,

A friend of mine had a black escos with gold rl7s on a few years back and that looked awesome

Stop worrying about other folk Karl, if you fancy it then go for it. I've never done anything where modding is concerned to please others.
Cost me Ł140 to have mine done by a mobile painter who comes to the house and pops the tyres off.

Whatever you do dont lower the back end.davie put ahmed springs on the car and all sierras handle better with the rear slightly higher than the front.

It looked good on silver 18s aswell .should be pics somewhere

Won't be messing with the stance of it mate, I think it sits just right as it is,I dont think they look right if they're too low at the back.

The gold works and you should do it . when i had gold comps , people took the piss untill they see the car . I thought they looked good but sold them as i wanted a different offset.



I sold them and ive now got black .

Yes it sits dead on for me, 3dr's should have that wedge stance look, not flat, or lowered too much at the rear

Big no from me too! Think gold wheels on any colour car looks a bit crap, although white is the least crap if you get me

Don't be daft there easily in the top 5 wheels for a 3dr IMO

And I deffo know I have taste.. Because I bought a 3dr and not a saph







Fitted correctly there better suited to a 3dr than a sapphire IMo
