Default Flat Gold wheel centers

I'm redoing my epsilon wheels. (3 piece mesh style)

Thinking about going flat dark gold with the centers.

Thoughts? Will it look dirty all the time?

Pictures of the rims would be helpful, but I'm sure I'd still say the same thing - other. I'm not a fan of gold wheels. If the outer rim is chrome/polished, I'd probably look at something like gunmetal, agate or anthracite.

Alright heres a picture:


Im going to be getting the lips powdercoated a very dark oliveish green. Flat finish. Maybe satin, not sure yet. Black bolts.

I'm pretty much set on green/gold combo.

Car is guards red.

Polished lips are ok, i think they are played out. I like being different. I also like something that will still look good even though its dirty.

I did this with a spray can without being very careful, but you get the idea.

i have the BBS version of these wheels with gold centers and polished lip and they look fabulous. does take a good brush to get them clean though, they look dirtier than they are with all the brake dust in the webbing.

I just bought the same wheels and think they are the best looking for my 944.
