I you want those wheels, then have them powdercoated gold after you buy them. It's more durable and will last a lot longer than painting.

So now you know what to do are you going to have the centers p/cd or the whole wheel? What color is your G? You mentioned gold, that looks best with IP, OB or TB not any of the shades of silver...we've seen that mistake before!
