What color wheels for a Flint G E?
All,

so decided to move on some wheels. After looking at some of the pics I am pretty sure I am going to move on a mesh style wheel, most likely Work VS-XX

BUT...

need some input on the color of the wheels. Looking for something that REALLY stands out! I am a HUGE fan of gold color wheels but not sure if that will fly on the E.

Thanks for the input guys/gals!

imho, gold mesh looks good on older Porsches but not on a sedan like the E. Black wheels makes the FG look too dark (I have FG); I'd personally go with their 'burning silver" color.

Good luck cleaning brake dust off mesh wheels

If you like to stand out....the gold would do the trick. I was actually contemplating running the gold vsx's myself. Should look great.

I'm not sure if Work still makes this color but how about this....

Burning Black...This pic doesn't do the color justice. You have to see the finish in person. It's almost like a smoke finish.

My friends car with red Work Varianza's. The blue would look so sick! I like the VS-XX in burning black too

same colour as me - really really wanted black but after several p-chops as someone said above, imo they make the car look too dark. If youre after something different, how about white?

That Supra is gorgeous, but . . . what the h#ll is up with that trombone-looking exhaust? Maybe it's just a bad pic.

Hard to find a good picture where you can actually see the details of the diffuser

The exhaust is on the drivers side. Not sure what you are looking at.

I was mistaking it for the rear diffuser in the initial pics. I stand corrected; looks gorgeous.
