Opinions: Gold Mesh wheels on White 8
Hey guys. I ran across these wheels and saw them on white 350Z and really liked the looks. I'm about 6 months away from getting new wheels and am still playing around with some other designs in Photoshop.
Do you guys think these wheels work on the 8? There was a yellow 8 with the AutoBahn kit running with these wheels in silver and they looked hot.
So what do you think?

Gold on White looks good
but
Mesh Rims do not look good on RX8s
this coming from a guy who has mesh rims on his 8. LOL - they look horrible and i know it, but its ok cuz theyre just track wheels.

I think silver mesh would go better with the strakes and clear corners.

Those look horrible. Like i said before mesh on an rx8 is really bad. Silver on White also doesnt look so great - the colors dont contrast well. They're too similar. Its just as bad as gold rims on a yellow car, and glack rims on a grey car, or white rims on a silver car.
Then again - if for some reason your set on mesh, go for it. It'll just make my 8 look even better

My preference would be simmons OM's in gold, i think it would look great on white or red cars, i dont have a pic but google them. may be a bit hard to find in the U.S. as they are an aussie wheel, real good quality though

I think mesh wheels give the RX8 more of a European look. If this doesn't look hot to you, I don't know what does.
mahalo!
