Advan RS/from Gunmetal to Gold?

davidf · 27 April 2012

Well here I am again wanting to change my gunmetal wheel color but still on the darn fence. I originally wanted gold since my car is black. Dark wheels/black cars seems to be the rave nowadays but I believe gold still has a chance.

Is gold played out?

+1. Darker shade of bronze always looks great on black cars.

Advan "gunmetallic" on a black car isn't exactly "murdered out."

Gold wheels are flashy yet classy at the same time. One of my favorite colors for wheels.

Damn you.. stop stealing my next color scheme. :biggrin:

Man I guess gold it'll be. I know Advan does'nt offer paint codes but I'll be looking at paint chips next week with hopes to get very close.

Black + Gold FTW! :wink:

Yeah, I'll probably be refinishing my RZ's in gold/bronze after another track season. Black & Gold is classic. You can look back to 60's racecars from GT40s to Ferraris and see this scheme.

I used to rock gold CE28's ( in fact that pic above of Exiled's car shows my old wheels). It's a nice combo but hard to keep clean. I like how my grey Advans hide my pad dust but bronze would bet choice today if I was going for new wheels.

Oyagi, your car works well aesthetically with the darker wheels because the Advans have thin spokes. That allows the big brakes (your rotor hats in particular) and shiny lug nuts provide the necessary contrast. That and the Advan decals (IIRC from previous pictures) provide enough visual reference points to discern the shape of the wheels.

A lot of black/dark gunmetal wheels, just look like steelies going down the road because without a point of contrast, it hides the shape of the wheel compared to a lighter colored wheel. If you're gonna do gunmetal/black wheels, thin spokes and big brakes are a must (and/or some crazy colored calipers).

Humble opinion and all

Anybody know what size this car is running? 17/18 or 18/19? Also, those look like Volk CE28N's, can anybody confirm?

Nero Tenebre · 12 January 2013

Those have got to be CE28 in 18/19.

flexthatdx · 12 January 2013

Looking at the BBK, I would have to say 18/19
