I have a BG car. I'm restoring some old BBS RX wheels. 17x8 42 et

I was thinking like a dark but glossy brown? similar to this color? click

Or magnesium blue like these? click

Or just a bright gold or bronze? Or hell, gunmetal or bright color aka monster green or bright salmon????

Give me some opinions.

I don't think our cars can get away with the "in your face" wheel color choices like some of the other cars out there.

I'm a big fan of bronze or gun metal on belize green.

I would go for gunmetal. But I am very biased towards black and gunmetal rims. I put them on everything

Neither one of those colors linked would look good on green, IMO (or really any of the colors on our cars).

I think a bronze center (spokes) with polished rim/outer center (esp if it were a 3-piece) would look good, or a polished/aluminum painted/powdercoat wheel would match the green nicely. Green is a hard color to match and black or gunmetal (with green car) wouldn't look good either, IMO (then again, I'm not a fan of black wheels and have not seen any that look good to me; besides, you spend $$ on wheels only so you can't see them; doesn't make sesne.)

I'm liking the blue but kind of hard to tell you should post pics of the wheels on the side of the car to give a better idea on how the car would look.

On a BG car, stick with precious metals colors like silver/bronze/gold. Gunmetal works also, possibly black, though I'm not a huge fan of such dark coloring for wheels on BG.
