Re: What colour wheels for malibu gold mx5
I had the chrome 10AE wheels on my Malibu, they looked terrible so I painted them black and now they look ace.
I was looking at 6ULs too and couldn't decide on colour. I was leaning towards nickel or black.

Agreed about the Gunmetal rims!
Not too sure about 6UL colours though on a "Yella" though.
I HATE black rims, even though black highlights on a yellow car look great (love the "bumble-bee" colour scheme).
Nickel and silver just don't look right IMO.
That just leaves bronze but I'd want to see what it looks like on the car.
For more "Yella" MX5's see http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/20-exterior-sponsored-r-speed/10441-post-your-yellow-miata-roadster-mx-5-a.html
FYI: Did you know that in the US when they first came out that yellow was the "unloved" colour? These days it's a sought-after colour.

Not much different here. some dealers went as far as fitting red interiors to try and sell the last few.

Re: What colour wheels for malibu gold mx5
Thanks a lot guys. Lots of options. Think the all black is too much, wheels disappear against arches. Black keeping silver rim looks ok.
Gunmetal grey looks hot.
Crrently painting my gutter rashed ailver rims white.
Still not drcided which way i willgo.

Love the "evil bee" look when they're stanced and finished with black.
.
The Hardemans' car always looked mean like that, even if it was only Malevolent Gold.

Re: What colour wheels for malibu gold mx5
if you like the gun metal look. then just get the silver w/ polished lip 6ULs and paint the silver section gunmetal. done.
or just buy the matte black version.

Decided to use up plasti dip I had which happened to be white on my gutter rashed rims. If it looked crap I could always remove.

Re: What colour wheels for malibu gold mx5
That looks surprisingly good, Ron!
I wouldn't have thought that white would be a good choice, but you've proven me wrong.
Reminds me of Stig Blomqvist's '84 Audi Sport Quattro S1:
