Artemis · 09-01-2013, 09:27 AM

Over here we've already seen gold-colored rims on BSM:

Now also an AW surfaced with gold-colored rims (spotted in Munich earlier this week). Hm, quite peculiar.

Definitely not for me. On AW, stock silver or gunmetal are my favourites. Certainly unique

The more people alter these cars, the more valuable unmolested versions become.

DrShimmy · 09-01-2013, 04:12 PM

The gold is too bright. If it were shadowed out or Dirty gold, that might suit it.

IMO i always prefer the stock wheels in its original finish, not even black..
but will be very interested seeing BBS LM GOld edition on a AW 1M

always love colouredwheels but just not for 359

1'M Blue · 09-02-2013, 12:42 AM

Hmm maybe too bright but IMO looks alright ..

brianjk · 09-02-2013, 05:10 AM

Cant say that its looking bad.. Although first preference is black!

HondaGoneRogue · 09-02-2013, 07:59 AM

Needs tire shine and a massive drop. Then it will be awesome.

Agree. It could be pulled off better with a different color gold. That particular set would really pop on a black sapphire car.

P1 · 09-02-2013, 11:05 AM

Doesn't look terrible. I would prefer it on a BMS 1M though.

The gold rims on the BSM looks pretty good. This doesn't.

This is pretty easy to change back though isn't it?

Worst case, a few hundred bucks to sandblast the wheels no?

lhsa · 09-09-2013, 07:57 PM

Karmic Man · 09-09-2013, 08:12 PM
