Breaker 19. This is the Bandit.

Anything but gold wheels on a Porsche. I like the black anodized idea.

So if I got a set of bbs e88's in gold you'd say they're ugly?

That combination always reminds me of a 78 Trans Am. Not my thing, but it's your car.

Get the BBS e88 with the gold centers. You will love them. They even look a lot better in person. Not to mention they are super light. I couldn't be happier with them.

I'm thinking gold might be nice but not 100% sure. Still thinking about maybe clear anodized, or gun metal centers etc

Initially I agreed with the bandit comment, but those rims look pretty sweet - I like the lower left, or gunmetal idea.

the lower left is polished, look amazing polished but I'd spend a lifetime cleaning them.

if you aren't sure, maybe the gunmetal is best. they'll look really nice as well. I had wanted gold for a while, but didn't think i could find the right look until i stumbled upon the E88. I think they look a lot better w/gold centers than the ccw's, but it could be i'm too biased to the E88.
