Default Gold or Silver wheels...what do you think...

I know this is personal taste and entirely my choice. I get that. And not everyone digs e88s and that's fine..

All that out of the way -- My wife and I are debating these two options and we're a little torn between the two and I'm curious about what people think. Gold or Silver? These are photoshops, obviously...
My order is in for gold as we speak. Sometimes I wonder if the gold references FSU a little. Which I would not want. It's an obscure concern.

Gold looks perfect on your car. You're making the right choice.

Gotta go gold. Surprisingly I am almost always a silver wheel guy but the gold adds a whole other dimension to your car.

If your interior is cashmere = gold

If your interior is gray then I would go with a gray center - like the GT2 color.

I'm biased.

Interior is black. So it matches everything.

I agree. Cool to match the wheel color with the interior. I went to UF so I just wouldn't be able to put gold wheels on an Arena Red (or any dark red) car, haha. But if I wasn't a Gator I would go gold, esp. if the interior is cashmere.

Definitely gold with AR. Really makes the body color pop.

I think the E88's are awesome, and with your arena red car the gold wheels look fantastic. I often think if I went E88 I may consider going 17's and showing more tire. Old school, but such a classic look.

My thoughts exactly! Arena red seems to pop with the gold!
Although the third option of a darker grey centre as someone else mentioned would be interesting to see as well!

I think they both look great and have gone back and forth about which one I like better on an arena red car. I chose silver BBS LMs for my silver car and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm gravitating slightly more towards silver for your car.

I wonder if gold wheels on an AR 993 are too expected? Anyway, you can't go wrong with either choice.
