Speed Yellow and Gold Wheels? Yup, I did it.

So, thanks to a local rennlister (Kirkwoodloyal) who had some gorgeous gold Volk TE37's for sale, I've now got them on the car. I must admit, I was a little leery to put gold wheels on my speed yellow. But I'm actually really liking it. Looks fantastic when it is dusk out. What do you think? I'm still toying with the idea of going silver with them instead, but I figured I'd leave them like this for a while and see how I like it. It's definitely different. Love these wheels!

Different...but I like it!

I'll agree - different and nice - cool concept. Just hold back from taking the gold bling too far... next thing you'll end up with are Mr.T chains hanging from the mirror!

Not bad at all! Pretty sure you won't be seeing a bunch of others like yours and that's a big positive in my book!! Congrats!

not my cup of tea but what matters is that you're happy with 'em

If they were Speed Yellow that would be way better....something like this...

I like the wheel design, and love the speed yellow, but to me the colors clash when put together.

Very surprising.....I don't hate it :-) The wheel design has a lot to do with the appeal of the overall look. SY wheels would be too much!

Looks cool ... it's different ... maybe try Plasti dip in a matching color for the mirrors and see if that can tie it all together

Looks good to me. Only negative - no center caps. It's a pet peeve with me - can't stand alloys without center caps installed. Ruins the wheel.

I like gold and yellow together. You just need to lower the car a bit now.

I like it, it's different and its a risk but to me pays off. This is what will set you from all the rest of the speed yellow 996. My only complaint is your stance. Get that thing lowered ASAP, looks like your car is flooding like Michael Jackson only without the white socks

It would look better with a spoiler

^^^^+996

Thanks for all of the comments everyone. I'm thinking SY wheels would be a little too much for me. As for the stance, it is actually lowered! I'm on H and R's. I think it may be the lighting so you really can't see where the tires are relative to the fenders. I'd love to go a little lower with some coilovers eventually, but for now, springs will do for me. I'm not really sure about center caps. My Porsche caps just look weird being that they are silver, and from pics I've seen, it looks like most Volks just had a blank cap. Not sure what to put on there yet. Ideas? CR

I like the look too! But you should sell those to me as they'd look even better on a black car.

Personally no but def different. That color combo reminds me of pink and red. Too close in color with not enough contrast. Anthracite or even dark bronze would look killer on that yellow IMO. But as long as you like it is all that counts. We're not in high school here(although some of us act like it sometimes).

LOOKS SWEET TO ME

You might try wheel spacers, particularly in the rear. That might help fill out the wheel well a bit. I like the look tho!

Look is good in my book - unique. Try to figure out how far you can move outward without risk to the fender and get some Hubcentric spacers for the rears. About $50 on eBay. 2002 Turbo - Basalt Black Metallic / 2003 Carrera 4S - Speed Yellow / 1955 356 Continental 1500 - Rust Red

I thought this was going to be hideous but surprisingly it's not. Not for me, but kudos to you for trying it! Now on my black car...maybe!

Wow surprisingly nice.

I have to side with Fly996 and go with speed yellow if ya want yellow wheels. Even so, the car looks great!

I don't like yellow on cars. I don't like gold wheels either. But your 996 looks great, different and distinctive!
