Enkei Rpf1 in gold

I think gold looks really goofy on silver cars. So out of those I would vote for the Tarmac 3's. Here's my car with hyper black Rota G-Force wheels...

...not the same wheel, but looks very similar. Just showing off the color.

I've been considering a second set of wheels, and I wouldn't mind getting a set of hyper black 18" Tarmac 3's, but I don't think SubyDude sells them in that color yet.

i would say the Enkei's but unfortunately they don't come in a great offset in 18's. the 18x8's offset isn't terrible but it's a bit low. If not the enkei's i would say Gramlight's. IMO the Rota's shouldn't even be mentioned in that list.

I guess if you really like the gold on silver then my suggestion would be the gramlights....

Yeah, the Rotas are definitely not as nice as the other two... but I think they look the best.
