Gold wheels opinion

Original ST on gold Campag’s as it raced in period....not sure that look will ever go out of date

it's one thing having gold wheels on a car that also has stripes, numbers, stickers and big lights all over it, quite another having them on a regular road car, at least IMHO. same reason Mr T looked good with all his gold chains but i'd look like a tt wearing them.

the gold wheels look a bit gold necklace and hairy chest and dated to me is all. back for a quick fix maybe but a "what was i thinking?" feeling once the they start to fall out of favour again.

I agree, especially the latest Satin Aurum which in my opinion is also a shocking shade of gold and the satin finish does it no favours. It's a bit "if Donald Trump did gold wheels" for me.

Weiss Gold is not too bad though, being more silver-like in shade.

Gold with black works very well.

could anyone hazard a guess what gold this is ? looks darker then Weiss ?

It's the new Satin Aurum introduced on the 992 and 718 GT4.

Aurum that is a standard extra on the current cars.

I don't think gold's had its day, not sure you can have a better look than this?

That's silver.

Well, as much as I like the idea of gold wheels I borrowed a set of lobster claws but they didn't look quite right with carrera white. The ones shown all look good but finally bought these. They're in their original paint with the silver band and silver backs. Obviously a different design but think they give a nod to Fuch's..

Such a faint hint that it is tenuous to call them gold.
