I am creating a Silver/Black 73 Carrera RS Replica and allready have the Fuchs. I recently purchased 3 pc HRE basketweeve and am looking to have the centers painted either BLACK or GOLD.

Vote for the best color whee for a Silver vintage race car.


BLACK or GOLD centers?

I would highly recommend Fuchs for your RS replica - makes it look much more authentic and they're very strong and light as well...

BTW, I think HRE makes a wheel with Fuch centers or looks like them.

Oh, ok. Well in that cae, I would recommend Black centers. Do you have a photo of your car? I always love to look at those!

Black, it is just the classic way to go in my opinion. Best wishes - Jay Gratton

Oh yea, and all of the rust repair.(rear seats, deck lid and suspension pan)

Sounds like it's gonna be sweet! Looking forward to seeing photos when you get it back...

I say go with a 'pewter' color...sort of a dark grey- flat, gloss-less color.

Think Tampa Bay Buc helmets minus the high gloss.

Two thoughts - gold would be more factory racing-like, and black would hide brake dust better.

Go with Black.
Gold reminds me of a 76 Pontiac Trans Am ala Smokey and the Bandit
