Gold BBS, to me, goes with everything.

Just slightly biased...



Extremely well made wheels. I think the Brombacher are nice too - Jdistefa can comment as I think he had a set on his 993?

Cheers

Matt

What about factory 18" sport classics IIs that are made by BBS? Mine are silver but I think in gold with the barrel machined aluminum or silver would look good on your car.

I was messing around on the new Mustang configuration site and I tried to approximate an Aventurine Green color with gold wheels and gold side stripe. The idea was mainly just to get a feel for how the colors work together.

Also found this... I'm not loving the combo on this 996. I don't know this paint code, but it looks an awful lot like Aventurine.

Here's my car. I went with BBS RE painted with Glasurit Porsche Stahl Grau. Works well, I think.

For your car I wouldn't touch the wheels. I'd focus on subtleties such as vibrant reddish orange brake calipers (not gold, let's get our color wheel straight here), orange F and R turn signals and that's it!

I have another non-993 vehicle that is dark green and considered a few different colors of aftermarket wheels, ended up going with Bronze. Not as flashy as Gold yet popped a little more with the green than the Anthracite.

Gold wheels on green or red look fantastic
