Thoughts on 763M Frozen Gold wheels on Black Sapphire G87 M2?

So I have always loved these Frozen Matte Gold 763M wheels since they were introduced several years ago. I think their color is just incredible in person. What are your thoughts on how these would look on the new G87 M2 in black sapphire? Would they look inconsistent or would they look just amazing? Here they are on my F87 for reference.

Looks like that might be an option. Thanks for the details.

On a side note, I notice you are in Calgary. Where do you track? Any open road courses in the province?

I don't see any possible application on the G87, the front wheels would retract by 25mm and the rear ones by 40mm

I usually only take the Caterham to the track (although we will have to see with the M2 in the future), normally 5 sessions a summer at RMM (Rocky Mountain Motorsports) near Carstairs, several sessions at Rad Torque Raceway in Nisku and a session or two at Strawberry Creek Raceway west of Devon.

I'm a member of a club that buys the track time for club members for an all-in price each year, but all of the tracks we go to have public sessions too.

Good info, thx. I assumed the Caterham was your dedicated track weapon. Any regular road car must feel like a step down.
