Would matte vintage gold wheels look good on a Space Grey BMW?

So I was thinking of picking up some plastidip matte vintage gold metallic spray and putting it on my wheels on my Space Grey.

So would these wheels look good on a Space Grey car? Just want some opinions (I can't find any pictures online on Space Grey cars)

I think silver or gray cars clash with bronze or gold wheels. But that's me. I guess it would look like this:

I was thinking about going this exact same route. With my vb3s. Same product but couldn't find a picture. My e92 is AW. I could bite the bullet and test it out today but idk.

Damn i have matte black on my car right now, is there any other color besides the usual gunmetal grey, matte black that will look good on a space grey BMW?

I agree with you, gold/bronze looks better on a white car.

I agree it's tricky. I have sparkling graphite metallic and I like gunmetal wheels but it wouldn't look right. I'm probably just gonna do gloss black next.

Will do! Have you seen the copper metalizer?. What do you think would be better? Copper or gold, copper being like a lighter bronze I guess.. Decisions decisions.! I could do one whole side! Lol

Go with gloss black, you'll like it. The only thing I hate about it is that EVERYONE has it. I like being unique.

I've seen the copper metalizer. I don't really like it, it just looks odd. My opinion is the gold. Gold looks AWESOME on a white car.

Yeah I mean, as long as you have SOMETHING unique. It doesn't necessarily have to be wheels, just something that makes it stand out and different.

I just put on Niche wheels that are black interior with "Machined with Double Dark Tint", as they describe it. Love em'. Looks killer with space gray imo.

Not sure of the exact color, but I think it could look cool. You could always peel it off if you're not feeling it.
