Usually, I'd agree on high power black, but having recently seen Bennyboys car, the Gold would set it off really nicely...The pictures don't show off the true depth of the colour.

The gold does look classy. I was thinking they were going to be bright Impreza style colour but its subtle and subtle is 
Really suits the Stilo
Great work Koa

I tried the gold ones against my car too and they looked good, but they were bound to against a blue car. As soon as Ben told me he was considering gold ones for his car I knew they would look good
The bordeaux old rose is a very prestigeous type of colour, it has that old school kind of depth to it and the Gold Bk's seem to have that same look and they go together like..... i dunno...Clarkson and Hammond
Are you certain they do the gold for the Fiat fitment Ben because i have seen a few sites stating Subaru only ?

This place here is one example Ben, and I have come across others stating the same.

I was just worried that after all the planning they maye not have the fitment, but if you have already enquired then cool
So many times i have found the perfect wheel only to be told it don't come in the right fitment

did you give them the offset and ask for 100 pcd or just say for fiat stilo? if you said fiat, then they will say no wont fit because they not of wobble bolts

Dave come & see me at Stanny & you can see the colour of my car, I guarantee you as soon as you see it you'll say GOLD! secondly the offset is pcd98 which isn't a problem in itself it's the fact that the wobbly washer won't go through on the BK's.
can someone please tell me how i managed to get the same bk 299's in chrome on my punto with no problems then?
The BK's will go straight on, because they have a PCD of 98, and there's no neew for wobblies, it's just the Gold ones ARE Subaru only.

avoid black.. makes the wheels look smaller. silver or hi-silver gold might look quite good tho on ur colour of car.

Don't fancy sending 'em do you?
I love black on most things, but it really wouldn't go with the burgundy already being quite dark. Strange really, because black wheels look fine on a black car. Gold and chrome are tacky as ****, so I had to vote for normal silver, assuming that is like standard alloy colour.
Despite being tacky gold can look OK with certain shades of blue, usually fairly bright midtones. Chrome would probably only look OK on a chrome or metal finish car and you don't really see too many of those around, unless you are talking wire wheels on a classic in which case chrome is fine.
