I like that Gold, so many gold options.  The powder should hold up well to the brake dust and what not.  Those are pretty unique centers, they don't look at all like the earlier centers so they must be later?  20 spokes as well that work with a wide range of BBS split rims.

 

As an aside, most of the early race wheels (Limmer and BBS) used magnesium centers.  Magnesium comes out of the mold varying shades of gold depending on the alloy and finish process (Iridite, Dow).  Even with an Iridite or Dow finish mag turns to sh&t really fast with exposure to air/moisture so most of the time they were painted (gold most often) to help preserve them and I would guess to somewhat match the original mag color.  BBS changed their gold many times over the years, you can look at older color images of BBS race wheels and the gold is completely different than it is today.  Lots of golds to choose from.  A friend used this gold on his BBS race wheels.

If you have black grilles, black wheels look great on a Verona car.
