Depends on the color of the car.

No. I like some "bling" but these are gaudy and over the top.

Really don't think the gold wheels would do much for a pewter car. Chrome, silver, magnesium (bronze) or black would look best IMO.

Have a Pewter coupe myself and don't care much for the Mag wheels which are goldish in color I've seen on other Pewter Vettes. I prefer chrome or polished wheels myself, some like black but I personally wouldn't go with Gold colored wheels with Pewter. It's up to you though if you like it do it and be happy. Too many are concerned what others think, if you like it, that's what matters the most.

I think on a black FRC or Z06 gold wheels could look nice, if the wheel was the CCW classic design.

However, it is your vehicle. Therefore, install the esthetic appeal and bling that moves you best.

I'm replacing my wagon wheels with C5 Magnesium, I'll let you know how they look.

I may polish the lips while I'm at it too.
