They don't look horrible. I think they look better on ABcar's color (Arena Red) better.

As long as you wear a white linen suit with a pastel t-shirt and no shoe with your top-siders...
Otherwise Nea

Doesn't do it for me on a white car. In general I am not a fan of gold wheels though.

I usually like gold LM's on white 993's, but as others have mentioned, that gold doesn't look right to me. Looks too mustardy.

Oh, btw, If you need the correct paint color to repaint, contact me...I have the closest match to the BBS paint as seen on my wheels.
Where do you get the correct paint?

I don't love 'em but they're not bad at all. It looks motorsports-retro to me. As track wheels they are great. As road wheels they are okay.

If the gold looks like ABCar's gold, they'll look great, IMO. I am usually not a fan of gold wheels at all, but on some cars they really work well.

No for me.
How about matching the centers to the grey PORSCHE script on the back of your car?
Just a thought!

Works well on Arena Red, but not on white.

I vote no.
The gold is too distracting. It grabs your eye and pulls you into looking at the wheels before you notice the car.
The white is not dramatic enough to compete for the visual attention.
