Advan RS/from Gunmetal to Gold?

[davidf]

Well here I am again wanting to change my gunmetal wheel color but still on the darn fence. I originally wanted gold since my car is black. Dark wheels/black cars seems to be the rave nowadays but I believe gold still has a chance.
Is gold played out?

David, I saw your car that sunday at the GTG and I love your car. IHO, black wheels is so played out. I never like that murder out look, I think gold will looks awesome. Please give it a try.:biggrin:

+1. Darker shade of bronze always looks great on black cars.

Black + Gold = WINNING

I just sold my 91 Blk....but if I kept it...I was going for GOLD. I think itS AWESOME....Black or Gunmetal....Ehhhh....not enough contrast for me.

LOVE THIS LOOK..............

The murdered out look is played out. Go with gold

Advan "gunmetallic" on a black car isn't exactly "murdered out."

Gold wheels are flashy yet classy at the same time. One of my favorite colors for wheels.

Is gold played out?

Damn you.. stop stealing my next color scheme. :biggrin:

 

[davidf]

Man I guess gold it'll be. I know Advan does'nt offer paint codes but I'll be looking at paint chips next week with hopes to get very close.

 

[eraxpres]

Black + Gold FTW! :wink:

Yeah, I'll probably be refinishing my RZ's in gold/bronze after another track season. Black & Gold is classic. You can look back to 60's racecars from GT40s to Ferraris and see this scheme.

I used to rock gold CE28's ( in fact that pic above of Exiled's car shows my old wheels). It's a nice combo but hard to keep clean. I like how my grey Advans hide my pad dust but bronze would bet choice today if I was going for new wheels.

Oyagi, your car works well aesthetically with the darker wheels because the Advans have thin spokes. That allows the big brakes (your rotor hats in particular) and shiny lug nuts provide the necessary contrast. That and the Advan decals (IIRC from previous pictures) provide enough visual reference points to discern the shape of the wheels.

A lot of black/dark gunmetal wheels, just look like steelies going down the road because without a point of contrast, it hides the shape of the wheel compared to a lighter colored wheel. If you're gonna do gunmetal/black wheels, thin spokes and big brakes are a must (and/or some crazy colored calipers).

Humble opinion and all

Black + Gold = WINNING

Anybody know what size this car is running? 17/18 or 18/19? Also, those look like Volk CE28N's, can anybody confirm?

 

[Nero Tenebre]

Those have got to be CE28 in 18/19.

 

[flexthatdx]

Looking at the BBK, I would have to say 18/19
