that looks pretty good actually... that would be a good choice if he wanted to get away from the "classy" look and come to the durty, nastay side

would need body color door handles and color match the window trim to the wheel face

ddpack is right, bronze/gold will look weird with your colour since you have an almost gold car. What colour is that btw? DP?

DP has a gold tint, gold on gold looks weird. Don't get me wrong, I love bronze/gold wheels. I am actually getting my done bronze as we speak.

I did a chop with that color gold and I didn't like it. What I had recommended to Lumpia was less gold and more bronze/copper color. I agree, the light gold on DP doesn't look right at all to me.

^^^ black chrome plating doesn't work like that... you wouldn't be able to isolate just those areas unless you use a black-chrome "look" paint - and even that would be very difficult to get the look right.
