Depends. Do you want to sell it at some point? As before, less is more.

Those wheels in the top photo- You surely wouldn't put those on a coupe. They are quite.. uhh.. Polarizing. Keep it simple. Silver always looks good. Get them done by a professional and they'll be very nice.

My opinion-black seat belts, silver wheels. Gold wheels give me bad 80’s flashbacks :) These cars are more elegant than sporty in street trim.

My opinion, these colorful accents will lower a sale price if that is your goal. If it is your ride, rainbow it up!

I love those epsilon (Southern Ways) wheels! I would go with silver centers and polished lips. They will pop like crazy in a very good way without all they fussiness of gold and red you have now.

Let me know if you ever get tired of them, you have a buyer here. :D

Hello, I want to put the car for sale, and I am trying to fined out what community would like more, since buyers are the people who like this E9, now you are buyer of car or wheels I have a extra set of wheels if you are interested as you see the one is not polished is from second set that I did not polish them yet, and the wheels on my car is not a red and gold it is Malaga and gold, but I thing you are right silver will be better than gold, and be end of it, and seat belt will go back to black, I was thinking it is sport and red seat belt will be nice but no one like them, I have a sport Mercedes that seat belt is original red,

yes you are right it is lots of work but I start to cleaning out and getting ready for sale, that's why I ask help from you guys, I hope everything will be the way I plan, I don't expect big dollar, I don't even think I will make the money that I spend on it but I will try, the blue one I am in it over 85K and Malaga it is over 100K, don't you ever try M3 engine on your car, there is powerful engine but you can not even use it, Malaga have about 400HP or more but what do I need all that power for, it was big mistake to go with M3 engine, I don't even know if there is a buyer for that, but I will go with BAT and maybe no reserve to see what will bring.

Hello, and thank you for your comment, yes I will go silver on the wheels and I order the black seat belt, it is lots of work but I will do that, to see if it will bring the money that I spend on it, I am in it over 85K on Blue one and over 100K on Malaga will see what will do, I don't even know if there is a buyer for Malaga since have that crazy engine.

I like the wheel in the second photo. I found a guy in NY that makes reproductions of the Epsilon caps. He just made a set for me for a customer’s E28. Excited to get them.

I'm thinking a slightly darker silver. Almost in between silver and gun metal.

Kinda like this color:

Yes that will be very nice, I am going to make the center gold silver but I was thinking to do dark silver, but lighter than gun metal.
