Silver looks normal, nice, but normal. Do you want to look normal?
i had to laugh at that analogy; do i want to look normal; to be honest i'm not sure if i do or not.

its defo seems to be between the silver and the gold.

and the descriptions were ace, put a smile on my face this morning.

is looking like a 1970 jps car a bad thing?

Get the gold.

You won't look like an oap ricer with gold wheels, not unless you try and accent other car parts in gold too.

Although, a double size gold H on the bonnet would look pretty damn Bling!

black, because wheels don't need to stand out

And you'll love the fact that you never have to clean them anymore

Am pretty set on the gold i think; hadn't realised the colour was going to be such a marmite option. Everybody over on the 350Z club thinks silver and gold is a very bad option. lol and on here its a 50/50 on the gold or silver debate. for me its the colour of the gold on the enkei's the original gold pic i put up makes them look quite dull. but in the sunlight they are very vibrant.. so i thought i'd stick up some more inspirational gold on black pictures up.

i must admit i like the fact that its something that isn't common in the UK the enkei's aren't massively used over here unlike the states, and the ones that are here are all silver.

it was this original picture that got me thinking



must admit i'd never thought about the JPS racers of the 70's, but it shows the combo works.

here are some showing the colour off more.

























i think it will work well for show season etc.

Is your car as low as these?

If not I think it'll never look as nice...

wheels that stand out on a car that's not lowered just doens't look right
