Hey, I was just wondering if any of you Tropic Green guys are running gold wheels. I'm really considering getting the SVT Euro wheel from BAT in gold, but I'm not 100% sure.

I've seen gold wheels on green cars before, and I think they look excellent, but those cars didn't have anywhere near the same body design as the CSVT. In fact, the last green car with gold wheels that I saw was an old Triumph TR-6 that was British Racing Green with some gold spoke wheels.

Man, that thing was sweet.

Anyways, opinions? Pictures? Photochops? Anything?

Thanks.

I was thinking of gold svt euros with my black car for that STi kinda look. I then decided that while it might look good, something else will def look better, and also I cant afford new wheels anyway

I figured that the only way I would be able to decide would be to jack up my dad's STi and roll one of his wheels up next to my car, step back, and take a look.

I was just hoping to see pictures before I took it that far.

I think the svt euros might be a little too bright. Something more bronzey like this would look good:

I was thinking the same, which is why I would like pictures.

I was hoping that they wouldn't be the "bling bling" gold, but then I saw the picture on BAT's website, and I was like, "[censored]..."

Maybe I'll buy the gray ones since they are the cheapest and get them powdercoated....

You don't have to answer me right now, dude. School work > some kind 2,000 miles away.

Thanks for all of your help, though. I'm depressed now that I see what it would look like.

ohh boy...that looks great. it looks like I made the right choice in color as well fpr my black CSVT. Now what size tires are you running on those gold SVT's? I was thinking about 245/245's on mine. Chris
