Definitely go with gold if possible. This isn't the best P-shop image, but the gold will look MUCH sharper on your car, and the gold wheels also justify the gold pin-striping. The silver wheels I think will single the pin-striping out and it won't look as complete.

One good thing though, say I found a set in Phoeniz, AZ I could catch a flight out there to check them out. Wouldn't cost me nothing.
let me know if you need a driver!

jr's3800, Would appreciate it if you would keep your eyes peeled out for a 15" set of gold lace rims in your area. Maybe someone selling a set in the local classifieds or from a local salvage yard. I would like to stay with the 15" size since the tires look brand new. They are Goodyear Regettas. It looks like the closest airport to fly into would be MCO. Could catch a flight down to check them out. I have friends that live in Merritt Island.

I've personally never seen a Bonne his color with the gold wheels. It looks very sweet...hope you find some Aviator! Then we can take pics of our red and green Ghetto Gold Bonnes together. Should make a great BC X-mas card.
Pete, I like that idea. Maybe we can Jim and his Pearl White NorthStar into the photo shoot. Now that would make a great looking Christmas card.

I have a set of four crosslace rims, 16" with 245 60R16. Two are Michelins, two are Dunlop, off of my SSEi. They are silver, though.

jr'3800, I would appreciate it you would keep a look out. I was coming out of the store this morning with some chow when I noticed a 93SSE with the gold lace rims on it. I struck up a conversation with a lady who owned it showed her mine and she said I had a great looking car. She said she really likes her bonnie and it came from the factory with the gold lace rims. I guess you just answered my question about 15" or 16" She must of had the 16" rims. I told her about the BC site, she never heard of it. I told her to check it out all kinds of good info. Hope she joins up.

Just kidding. I wouldn't even know where to start trying to convert silver to gold rims without messing it up. I am assuming that gold is baked on when the rims were produced.
