    Ok guys let me know what you think. Black w/silver lip or gold w/silver lip. Trying to decide what color to paint the other OEM's with race rubber on them.

    Black, but why not ORANGE. I have seen some pretty orange wheels somewhere.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Black... You'll be cleaning the gold ones too much to keep the brake dust off.

    Why would you even consider gold??? Oh, wait, you use red guitar picks, don't you?

    Black or gunmetal gray, unless you want to clean them before every race.

    I'm with the majority on this one. Black or gunmetal. I think the latter works better on silver.
    ...and across the line.

    I'm going to go against the grain here and vote for bronze. I love it on my car and I think it would look great on a silver one.

    It holds up well to brake dust also.

    But doesn't quite cover orange paint... Gunmetal.

    I think the Konig Quicks in Gunmetal and polished lips look sharp on a silver Miata, they were on mine for a while and I liked them ok, but Orange is far better

    I really like the black, but I think that the gold would match better with the tan top. It wouldn't be like super bling gold, but goldish. I think that I just need to photoshop a couple pics of my car. I tried tirerack.com, but you cant really see most of the black wheels good.

    Ya, if its a nice dark bronze like your car that would look great, but not gold IMO...especially with a silver car. All I can think is "bling bling silver n gold biatch!" I think gold wheels only work with red or black sports cars, or on any colour Buick, Oldsmobile, or Caddy!
