Finally got round to changing the wheel colour

[sgrimshaw]

Having been thinking of changing the wheel colour on my Rolex Blue Chimaera from Silver to Gold for years, I finally got it done.

They needed a refurb anyway so I bit the bullet.

This will probably be a marmite thing, but I am really pleased with the result.

For some reason, it makes the car look lower and wider ...

Eerr. No, sorry
Reminds me of my old impreza

When I get a set of 5 stud centres for my Image wheels I was considering gold but keeping the rims polished ally.

What do I know, they're orange at the moment!

Ferraris often have gold wheels, so why not?

Not so sure about the red calipers though...too many colours.

Matching Viper stripes would look good I reckon

I like it, think it goes well with the blue

The photo doesn't really do justice to it.

The car is Rolex Blue which is actually Purple with a Gold Pearlescence.

Fair point made regarding the red calipers .... I might end up changing them.

I think changing the caliper colour to black would make the wheels colour more appealing, l think they look good.

Looks alright, personally I would (well, I did) go for a slightly lighter gold, I think dark coloured cars need a light wheel colour, or black, not in between. Good on you for doing something different though, I know mine won't be liked by everyone but it's not their car at the end of the day!
