Arena red is a fine gold metal flake, so obviously gold wheels. Girls like matching jewelry.

Looks like I am in the minority. While I think the gold looks great, I would get tired of it. Silver for me.

I'm not generally a fan of gold wheels, but they look fantastic on the Arena Red.

Its a win win. Either one looks great. Flip a coin.

It may be harder to sell gold rims though.

Normally I would say gold looks tacky but in this case it does look better.

Agreed. I usually find them pretty pimptastic. They really work on this car, though. The Hubby just got some sport twists for our 993. They're painted gold & they look pretty cheesy. He's having them redone before he puts them on the car.

The stance is perfect and paint is the same. I can't imagine what wouldn't look nice for wheels.

It really comes down to what 'You Like' best....

However for me it was gold centers on my cashmere interior Arena Red 993. Great color combination IMHO.

My car is Black Metallic where in the sun, one can see the slight gold metal-flake glowing.

This thread has convinced me to change my Cargraphics from silver to gold, which would help compliment the metal flake.

No regrets with the gold on mine.

Cheers

Thanks all for the feedback. Looks like gold is the big winner.

Of course there is always the slippery slope of custom finishes...something like a stone grey center perhaps....
