Opinions on wheel color

I can't find any original factory gold paint for my euro weaves/caps so I must go with something else.


So far I have OEM silver, or a gold duplicolor I got from pepboys. (If I choose gold I'd make the center of the waffle cap silver.) Like so:




top, or bottom?




Current state:



I wish I had those bbs RSs.....

I agree. I'm concerned about the dupli-color gold as well, but that's why I posted a pic of a cap painted with it. It looks ok, definitely not as dark as the factory gold.

Wurth carries BBS gold and silver. There is also a company in PA that carries the closest thing to BBS gold, but I forgot the name of it.

Wurth has been out of the gold for a long time, I don't think it's coming back any time soon.

You shouldve took pictures of the caps installed on wheels.

Good idea..


I think I'm just going to go with the gold though, I'll report back when the deed is done.

Came up with this. Thoughts?

My wheels will be matched with the same gold color as the caps and accompanied with the stock polished lips.

Thank you!

I stumbled upon that paint a while back and was too lazy to buy it.


If the end result doesn't turn out well I'll try it out.
