Default Wheel face color help

I've been looking at wheels for my limited, and am torn between color. Car is black and im honestly getting tired of looking at silver wheels and trim.

Wheels are BBS LM Reps

19x8.5 +15 (F)
19x10 +20 (R)

Its either silver center/polished lip and leave the trim silver (boring, imo but works)


Or gold center, polished lip, black bolts... but I need ideas for the trim because black car, gold wheels and silver trim just wouldnt flow



anyone have an opinion? I really like the gold face but I have no idea where to start with the windshield, door handles and the side strakes, although I could probably just remove the side strakes all together.

Simply to be different, I'd wrap the strakes and windshield surround in black carbon-fiber, and rock the gold wheels. With your super-low stance, it will be a very nice look. And more "race-ready" which I think is the look you're shooting for anyways.

Go for it man, if you hate it you can always do something different.

I never thought about that.

CF vinyl wrap would be badass. And the hardest single part would be removing and installing the door handles. Hmmmmmmmmm, now the wheels in my brain are turning lol.

I like it. The only thing I've gotta do now is measure hub-outer fender line to make sure the offsets work. With these wheels I can't tell if offset is built into the face or the mounting pad so I've shot an email to them.

If its in the face Im golden because the rear would be about a 5.78" lip and the front is about 4.75" lip. If its in the mounting pad I'll just get the +30f/r and space them out. My plan is to run 5x114.3 wheels with wobble bolts because they have more aggressive offsets.

I agree with JHM2K that would look cool.

I love those wheels! Great choice! I'd rock them in gold just to stand out!.

If I'd put them on my SSB, I'd take silver.

with that front wheel offset, in combination with that width, you would be rubbing. It would probably stick out way past the fender as well.
