So my dilemma is that I have a 2008 Nordic Gold GTS. I was sending the wheels out for repair since my wife curbed check and have the option of going back with silver or gloss black.

Opinions? ( I personally am leaning toward black)

I'd say Black. I'm doing the same thing here in a couple months.

No curbage, just want black wheels.

You could always plastidip them and go back to the original if you ever wanted. I think you'll like the black though too much and you'd be better off painting them then.

Have the wheels powder coated - endless choices and durable.

I'll admit I'm old.. but I just don't get black rims (unless they have polished silver lips..) When I see them they look like the old painted steel wheels that came on cop cars, or just really dirty alloy rims. The features of the rim - pattern - spokes - just sort of disappear for me.

Don't get it, but don't let that stop you.. (I do like my Ti edition rims, dark gray center fading into a bright silver lip area..)

I've come around to the black wheel thing for the right cars.

Actually run solid black on my titainium cayenne in the winter and black with silver lip in the summer.

But....."Nordic Gold" just doesn't seem like one of those colors that black wheels works on.

I have to agree that black and gold would look terrible in this instance.

So, what was the decision on this? Curious to see how black wheels would look on this color vehicle...

It's no dilemma. If you have to ask the forum...... you're not ready to make the change.
