I picked up a set of DPE ST7 gold with polished lip. One of the lips is bent so it's at DPE getting the barrel replaced.

They are 20x9 f, 20x10.5 rear.

can't find anything about space gray with gold wheels on the internet so i photoshopped a picture up, thought you guys might like to check it out.

IMO gold face wheels only mesh well with Blue, Red and black cars...(maybe white)


but its your baby, dress her like u want.

The wheels are gorgeous. Personally I think the gold looks a bit out of place... On a grey car I would keep it grey, so having the gold part of the wheels painted in the same space grey as the car is perfection to me... Not judging here, just telling my personal taste....

If you're planning on making the car look super aggressive I think it would work. Color is silver grey btw, I used to have the same color.

Good luck. How much did replacing the barrel set you back btw? I'm in the process of maybe replacing some barrels on a set of HRE's.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

I just got done with a three week wheel hunt. I thought about going gold several times but I didn't want to go with something that aggressive. It would look amazing if you were able to tie in a few other SUBTLE parts that were also gold.
