Although gold wheels go well with white cars, I had a white Subaru WRX with gold wheels once, it looked great. Saying all that I agree with Pondrew colour also depends on the wheel and I am not sure how those colours will translate to the 326. If you are really brave how about candy red? although you will loose the red callipers with that.
I am wary that anthracite will be to dark and I will lose the form of the wheel.

I am brave but not certain I would go with candy red on a zed - if it was a jap drift car then yep absolutely.

This is what is on our 1 series - thought it was gunmetal but looks grey and that is Alpine white

True Blues VO had ferric wheels on it, they were lovely and would’ve been my choice if I’d refurbished my 326’s

    Anthracite, Gunmetal or shadow chrome :thumbsup: Have to say the change in colour to Anthracite has made mine look more aggressive and my last car had Ferric which looked great with the blue

    They look nice but are they 326s? They look like they have diamond cut (polished) front spokes which would not really be viable on 326s IMO.
    Still think pink! :thumbsup:
    Also for your £60 a corner, I would be surprised if they will shadow them cos they need two sprays of different colours for the effect. Just a thought :)
    All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    If not they are very similar to 326's and don't want polished finish if I can get away it.

    Pink would be good on a drift car - not certain on the zed.

    £60 and they have said they will so it for the same price :thumbsup:

    437s (M4) look similar from a distance but are not 326s. Put a pig in a frock, it's still a pig! I also have 326s BTW! :D

    Yep I agree - not certain what to do, I like ferric or shadow chrome but also like the OEM colour, bloody hard to decide as when I sell it will a change in wheel colour make it less likely to sell :headbang:
