Anybody with personal experience on what looks better on the Spa Yellow. I think Black rims would look kick ass, but I'm torn on gloss or matte

I've seen quite a few with Matte Black and I think it looks pretty good. I also like Bronze on Spa but I think a lot of people would disagree with that.

I went bronze, but I get plenty of hate on it. Luckily, it's my car and nobody elses :D

Black doesn't do anything for me, but if I had to choose I'd do matte black. But I'd also do gun metal before matte black.

Bronze kinda works. Im leaning toward gloss black and painting the little H spa yellow, to tie everything together.

Have you considered a gunmetal color? I like it better than plain black in general.

Yellow on bronze always appealed to me actually. Moving this to wheels and tires.

I like the gloss of gunmetal as well. I have done the OZ Racing Alleggerita on the S2K and they look nice on the car. Light weight and strong wheels.
If I can help let me know.
