    What color BBS RS' would look good on a red e30? (pictures)

    So I have some BBS RS wheels, with the specs 16x7 et13 and 16x8 et12.
    As of right now, they're original gold. I really don't think gold is going to look good with my '90 red sedan, so I'm thinking about getting them powdercoated.

    What color should I get them powdercoated, to look good on brilliant red?
    I bought this stuff called Plasti Dip, and sprayed the rims to give me an idea on what they'll look like. Came out looking horrible due to the rattlecan being complete garbage, but I'm really considering white.

    Anyone got any color suggestions?

    Picture of all four:

    Your pics don't work but gold centers with polished barrels look nice on red cars

                    I don't think they would look good on your car in any color, you should sell them to me instead :)

                      I got these rims for $650 haha. Don't think I want to sell them.. :)

                      But seriously, do you think white with gold bolts on a red sedan would look good?

                        Did mine in nagaro with silver lips, allows me to mount them on either my alpine car or zinno.

                          If you do white, then match the barrels.

                            I'd do white because everyone does gold with red and it's boring to me now. I never thought it looked all that great to begin with, and now that every red car has gold wheels, I'd go with graphite, white, or silver (in that order).
                            The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                              Why would I match the barrels? Theyre gonna be wrapped by tires and the insides are not going to be visible..

                              That's one of the main reasons I didn't want to go with gold; almost every red e30 has them.
