IMHO, they would go best with any color car as long as it has matching semi gloss black rockers and valances. .

The majority seems to be voting for silver. Once the tires/rims come in I'll post pictures and see what everyone thinks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Good score on those wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
DO NOT loose those lug bolts, they are hard to find. Get spares if you can. I had them, and an old "mag-lock" lug that was half-stripped. When I couldn't get new lug bolts after months of looking, I had the wheels drilled to accept cone seat lugs. I check them annually and no cracks have developed. That's a really clean set! Mine have the Porsche crests in them too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have them on my black car, but they are polished allow w gold paint on the inside of the spokes. Totally 1970s! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Know for a fact they look great on my Irish green car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Mine are black spokes with a polished Porsche crest center cap. I've got a picture somewhere . . . .

I've never been a big fan of those ARE 4-spoke wheels, but they look good on almost any color 914 or Bug - not so much on Ghias.

I'd pick any of the 4 but green, based on the specific car pix you posted above.

And the blacked out spokes might look best playing-off the late big black bumpers & black Porsche side stripe on your 75-76 White one of the 4 pix you showed.
