Thanks for this. I was wondering what macadamia looks like in non-silver wheels.


I am thinking of getting these for my macadamia:

I think you'll love them. I really like the way that the color looks with Macadamia Brown Metallic. For comparison, here's a recent photo of my car with the BBS wheels mounted along with another local car that has black wheels. Judge for yourself, but I like the anthracite color better than black. Don't get me wrong, I think they both look good. I just like the contrast of the lighter wheel better.

Thank you for that!


The black does darken it quite a bit. I was debating between traditional silver or the current titanium which is probably just a shade off from yours.


I have also wondered what a dark gold wheel would look like--not that I am usually a fan of gold on anything other than an STI but with macadamia it may bring out the color (or look like crap).

18's with the widest gumballs are the bomb
They look great the way you have the set set up...

I think a bronze finish would look very nice with Macadamia Brown.

So for less than the price of new BBS CH-R, I picked up a set of used Champion RS97. My car was also purchased used so no worries there. Putting some summer tires on those (Bridgestone Potenza S-04) and keeping my stock 18s with Continental all seasons for winter.
