Vossen had a matte black coupe a while back with matte gold rims. Tbh, I like matte gold wheels on a mattish-white car. Not sure how it would look on a grey car though...

Edit: Found it. https://mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=528304
Correction, it's a BS.

I say go for it! But I'm not 100% sold on the gold.

Perhaps a Semi Gloss Bronze - I was very close to getting my wheels done in this colour. The below picture is Glossed but you get the general idea.

they've got gold plastidip. could be worth a shot so you can get an accurate idea and always peel it off if you don't like it.

That is actually pretty sweet looking! I think it might even work well with my black car! I've been stuck on gold/bronze rims for a while too, but kept getting different opinions from everyone.

I thought about the Vintage Gold plastidip route too, but keep hesitating. Maybe I'll just man up and do it this summer...

I read a lot of car magazines in the 80s, which probably explains why I totally support the idea of gold wheels. I drive past an STI with gold wheels every day and it is my favorite thing about the car. I also like the bronze. Either way, I vote for matte not gloss.

I have satin bronze HREs on my car. It's always attracting looks.
