gold or silver that is the question

[Jbird]

I got a new Malaga roundie for Xmas, and I was wondering if anyone had a picture of a malaga with gold rb's. I usually am not a huge fan of gold but I think, gold with a polished lip, against that oxblood color might look pretty damned good. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have searched but cannot seem to find a pic and I want to make a decision soon so I can have them delivered by the first week in Jan. Yanking subframes this week so I can put in the urethane, springs, shock, and brake upgrades. I will likely swap the diff and tranny this week too and plan to drive it the first full weekend in Jan. Thanks in advance for any help.

it looks really good, and there is a user on here who has exactly the look you are thinking of if I remember correctly. I will try to search for some images.

This is a matter of personal preference because both look good against Malaga. I have a Malaga car too and also faced this dilemma. I mounted gold 14" BBS RZ's on one side and silver on the other for several months for comparison purposes. Ultimately, I went with silver because the gold was too over-powering and distracted from the rest of the car, IMO. I can send you comparison pics if you send me an e-mail address.

How about a dark silver/ charcoal color as a third option? I would probably vote for this color or even a bronze if it were the right shade to match.

Lorin,

You are right on time. I sent an email to see if I can get the bronze color in the correct size for our cars. I have seen the rb's in bronze and it is hot. If I cannot, I have already decided to go for the metallic grey wheels.

Typically, the gold centers look best with dark colored cars- Malaga, Blues, Greens, Black. The lighter colored centers look better on brighter car colors.

But, it is YOUR car. Do what YOU like.
