Oh boy I got a itch for gold wheels

Thinking about new wheels, why? I dunno. I just think the gold would look sweet on Daytona blue. Who makes a tight 20in gold wheel with a chrome or polished lip? Heres the car now, well not really but this is what it looked like a couple weeks ago.

Dude, I've agreed with EVERY mod you've done so far...but this one, NO WAY. Gold wouldn't look right. Now, BLACK, would! photoshop it and see.

I 2nd Randy, go with black. As you can see with that Daytona blue 350z. Gold looks good on white or black G. Its hard to find gold wheels with chrome lip anyways, most are polished. Since your symbolic wheels are 3 piece, why dont you just have your centers powder coated black or your preferred gold. Should be around $350-400 to powder coat. Why spend another $3K on rims.

do whatever you want man. i got black wheels because i hadn't seen a g with black wheels when i got my car, now look around. there are not a ton of g's on gold wheels and you very well may start a trend. you've done everything else right with your car, why start looking for opinions here?
