Think they would look good. Very reminiscent of the 70's Lotus F1 colour scheme, which looked great. :thumbsup:

All positive so far👍
my rims are probably too far gone on one side to polish,will know more tomorrow when I get them back from garage taking the tyres off,i undid a few or the rim bolts for a trial run yesterday and encountered no problems so fingers crossed,Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 5´s ordered and I’ll pick up some bronze wheel paint during the week.

Irrelevant really. They’re 108s so you get the chance to refurbish them a different colour every year :poke: :D :D :D

Robster68, just going back to your original post/question. So long as they are VERY Gold and definitely with a polished rim as in the photos then they will look superb on your Black car. If you're going more brown/bronze and no polished rim then I personally wouldn't be very keen. I'm picturing a result something like this :thumbsup:

Wheels look great!

Weird because this is what I have been toying with the ideal doing for the last year or so.

Looks great in that combination,bronze,polished rim is the way to go,all depends on rim condition when I’ve stripped all the paint off 👍

Both rims split ok,1 bolt was tight,wd40’d it overnight and still wouldn’t budge,got out the blowtorch,bit of heat on side of the rim and bingo,now the fun starts.
