That orange looks okay, but I'd try and get your car photoshopped and see whether or not it can carry off the look. My preference would be gunmetal though

Gunmetal on white FTW But the orange does look rather good I must admit, Maybe a winter wheel colour this year for my other set lol

I think if you are going to do orange you should go for an in your face shade rather than burnt orange. I have an temptation to go purple against the white of my car.

I've got 3 sets of wheels and one set I recently had refurbed in Porsche GT3 RS orange as an experiment to see how it would suit my WR blue Blobeye Spec C, plus I had a spare set of mirrors repainted as well.

With orange wheels (MY05 STi onwards)



I haven't really had a chance to take a decent set of pics yet but this shade of orange can look anywhere from dark to bright dependant on the lighting conditions.

I also have a set of gunmetal wheels (Inovit ST VI - Rays TE37 Replicas)



Plus I have a set of genuine Rays Volks CE28N's which I've have refurbed in BMW Sepang Bronze but no pics yet on the car.



I do like orange wheels but I think they look best on a car with a dark body colour.

Inovit STVI's in gunmetal:

And the same wheels in green:


Looking at your photos, I wish I'd sprayed mine orange now! They look great!
