Well, I got way off topic on this thread...center caps to wheel color choices.
I can't resist the gold...even though it affects easy sale later (of course I would never sell my car or wheels, right?) extra expense and work...gold BBS wheels have called my name for over two decades.
Thanks for all your suggestions and one really cool video!

It's GOLD!

Look like E88's (aluminium) based on the bolt pattern/sculpting.

Yes, the centers are somewhat bowed. Have not measured mine to see if they execeed the rim though. I run 8.5" in front. It's probably very close to flush.

Best,

Matt

I say gold, but gold looks so good, that maybe going with silver would be the better choice.
Silver would allow you to always want something more and never be satisfied and always question
yourself. However, since we are approaching 2011 and gold wheels were more fashionable back in
the 80's and we are very similar to fashion models, silver would allow you to save face amongst your peers
therefore countering the the questioning of your bad choice of going with silver. So silver it is, unless you like gold better. Gold is my favorite.

Maybe I can relive some of my Duran Duran days from the (GOLD) 80's.
