The Forgestar gold is almost gunmetal light yellow with no lip color. So it may yield a different result when put on a dark blue boxster. But if you think that it would look nice then go for it. It will be nice and unique, I can asure you that much, and I personally would avoid black just because it is overplayed and contrast is always nice so gunmetal would be my choice. Gunmetal is just a bad ass color with any color car. but if you decide to go a different route look at some whites, not gloss though. White wheels look kind of cool, then again I do have a little bit of a ricer taste with that.


I spent a good amount of time trying to find the frost white f14 and failed so call them and ask for a pic of some white f14. If it looks glossy don't bother. It has to be like a mate white that isn't too bright or else it will look stupid.

And the other two rims in the pics would be my choices. Silver with black background because it has contrast not just black, and Gunmetal because its bad ass. Hope this helps. Also if you are going to spend this kind of money why not stand out a bit. Going with conservative colors is good but you also want to make your car stand out in a fashionable ya so whatever your choice is make sure looking at it every time will give you joy and not a sense of i could have done better. "secretly I want to see some white rims on some dark colored boxsters"
