I think this picture shows the actual shade of Gold? they look good Karl it's just a massive shame we didn't swap a pair quicker and had a perfect set each.
Once you've got 235's, centres and tyre shine on it will look different again and i think the car needs a pin stripe kit to break the black up
What graphics you gone for? Ford logo with red Motorsport?

Cheers Chris, yeah I've been thinking about a pin stripe for it tbh, I think that's what I'll be doing decal wise yes mate.
There's a few scuffs on the wheels tbh so I'm gonna get them refurbed, maybe a bit different shade of gold?

With the 235's on you'll have to see what it's like at the back it may even need a 5mm spacer to to widen the track from the fronts if your rear arches will allow - what are the fronts like? have you tested at speed

I haven't mate no, it's sorned at the mo and partially in bits so I literally drove it off the drive, took pics and put it away again. I'm thinking of changing to coil overs and possibly a beam, and also modding my old sapph x member so it's adjustable for camber, will see how it sits then lol.
They need refurbing either way to be mint so I'll decide on colour then lol, you saw that white 500 I put on fb didn't you? I quite like that colour tbh

Quick update....
Got my centre caps and decals last week so fitted them yesterday, wasn't able to get the car out of the garage to take any decent pics as it's p'd it down all day lol, but I did take some, not the best but I'm happy with how they look
Like I say, not the best pics but you get the idea lol, will take better ones in about 6 months time when the rain stops

It's on 215/40/17 all round atm, I'd like to put 235s on the back but not sure I can with this offset (et25)
The previous wheels were et35 and I had 215s on the front and 235s on the back with no rubbing issues, but I think the front arches have been trimmed.

Decals really make them fair play mate.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Not a fan of gold wheels, although they look good on Rainbirds... Really like them on yours!!
Looks even better with the decals. The centre caps I've got on my RL7's are the same as on my comps and look a bit too sticky out on mine, (bit like massive erect nipples on tiny tits!! Lol) but prefer the caps on yours... What are the from?
