Gold Wheels On A Black E90

MIKEYMIKE · 06-29-2006, 02:51 AM

I used to think gold wheels were EXTREMELY tacky and boy ricer.

But I dunno, they are starting to grow on me...A LOT. A gold that is not so bright, more on the bronze side....with a nice chrome lip. I'm starting to think it's got potential. Definitely original.

What do you guys think? Discuss.

Wise words and I agree with you 100%. Just wanted to see what other suggestions or thoughts other members have...maybe some one has even done it and can post a pic.

I've yet to see an actual owner of a black E90 with gold wheels, but here's a good photoshop of gold BBS LM's.

Those LMs look OK on that car, but take away the blackout treatment (chrome around the windows and/or kidney grill) and remove the graphics from the side and I think it would look ugly.

If you're going for the gold in Jason's picture, I think they're too light. A darker gold like you're mentioning will look better. I saw this picture in the picture's thread and I think these rims look pretty good, but hard to tell if they are any darker.

aphall · 06-29-2006, 10:43 AM

Also, in the above picture, these rims have a chrome lip, which breaks up the gold look a bit and, in my opinion, makes them look better. If the entire rim is gold, I think it looks too cheesy.

dtmryan · 06-29-2006, 10:48 AM

i love when people a different color center w/ polish lip.. im so sick of seing black w/ polish lip... played out... at least here on the west coast it is..

gold is hawt!

shragon · 06-29-2006, 11:02 AM

gold wheels with a polished or silver lip looks good on black or white.

ek9hatch00 · 06-29-2006, 11:23 AM

I personally think that gold wheels on black cars look very nice. I might get some gold wheels for my car in the future

ALPINE6SPD · 06-29-2006, 11:30 AM

a darker gold to bronze with a polished lip will look good.

Yea dude...black wheels with polished lip has been DONE.

I think I want to go with some gold wheels just because they are something so fresh and original, and when done right with a polished lip...looks beautiful.

HRC · 06-29-2006, 12:58 PM

I like dark bronze over gold persay, but you get the point! I loved my bronze rims I had before. They were on a white car. Long posted a pic of a e46 with gold rims/polished lip, looks hot! Gold/Bronze can be done without looking like rice.

I'm thinking on black more of a bronze will look better

Yeah bronzeish matte gold BBS wheels with black is a classic combo...dates all the way back to the 60's with Lotus and their JPS livery. I do agree they go well with white as well, very racy.

I'd go for it.

Reminder: Opting for bling-bling gold wheels is ground for immediate banning
