Nea. Maybe on a riviera blue car it would work.

I have seen white cars w/ gold wheels and it's worked...

Perhaps it's the photo and the gold is coming off too yellow? Based on that photo, it's a nea...

I like 'em. But, they'd look better on Midnight Blue.

golds go well with white as well as arena red. If anything, I agree that the gold is coming off just slightly too yellow in the pic.

Still looks nice though...

That's one hell of a dark tint you got on the car Axl.
That gold on your white looks too retro.
Silver or black coloured spokes might look better.

Another no... Maybe gray centers or black... but, the gold just doesn't work for me.

I'm sorry, but that shade of gold doesn't work for me. Maybe it's how the pic was taken? If your thinking of repainting, I would go with a black, silver, or a "smoke" gray.

Before I saw the picture I was prepared to vote yes. Either those have a different paint (read; "gold nugget") or the picture settings are off. I think the right BBS gold would look great with white. Here is a picture of of my gold wheel.
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.

The gold BBS have always been a favorite of mine. I would say yes but, is that the correct color gold?
Are they wide body wheels? I'm sure many would like to get a deeper dish on a narrow body car, but for some reason it doesn't look right in the picture.
I think the standard bbs center caps would work better too.
