Hey rommel, Ive seen the gold GTC on a silver stone and looked pretty sweet. Dont have pics though as it was at one of our meets and we didnt get pics of his car. Still havent seen them on a Chrome Silver though. Some will say it would look bad but you never know to you see it. Might look kinda cool if you had gold volks on the silver and then got all your emblems coated in gold also. I know this example wouldnt be quite the same, but, when I lived in Thailand I had a yamaha nouvo which is a little small bike, but every one modifies them too. Mine was Chrome silver color with gold plated rims and gold lettering and gold bolt covers with some fake carbon fiber on the fender and mirors. I thought it looked like a pretty cool color combo. BEN

IMO your best bet on silver car is either brushed aluminum, gunmetal or silver

Hey Ben, thank you. I appreciate your opinion. I figure, I can always sell it later hehehe.

I think it looks pretty good. The carbon hood and wing compliments the gold rims pretty good. IMO, it didn't look "in place" when I didn't have the hood and wing though.

Most stock wheels and 95% of the wheels on the road are a polished or silver variant. I think the key with wheels is contrast and making them standout so people notice you aren't rolling stock. Now gunmetal is a little better, but they won't get nearly the attention a gold, white, bronze, or black wheel will get.
