I'm trying to choose a colour to paint my V5 simmons to put on a flared yellow LH Sedan.
Either charcoal, black or gold?
I just don't know about gold on yellow?
Any pics of either colours?
What colour V5 SIMMONS for YELLOW L34/A9X Sedan?

Gold does look shit hot, just not sure about gold with yellow.
Really need to see a pic before I rule it out.
I definitely need to rule colour coded out though

I love Grey / Charcoal. A more neutral colour that suits any body colour. Gold has been overdone over the years on torana's in my opinion. Second choice is black.

Black doesn't let you see any detail on the wheel, the centre just disappears. Gold has been done to death, car colour on wheel works on some colours, not sure about yellow, so kinda leaves Gun Metal Grey/Charcoal.

The black looks very nice on that pale yellow Hatch.
With a bright yellow I think Charcoal is the go too.
Or else be daring. Go copper or bronze.

I agree Charcoal would be my 1st option then Black.

First choice would be yellow same as car colour if plan on keeping the wheels,suits them so well & why so many did it back in the day.
Second choice would be gold as easier to move them on if wanting to try other wheels
