    I had those exact wheels basically, and I wouldn't do it again.

      Oh really? I don't think I've seen yours.

      Why wouldn't you do it again?

          I don't mind the look. I think the gold look suits a darker car better, but still not bad on silver. Thing is, they look pretty good as-is, so I don't know if I'd go through the trouble of re-finishing.

            yep, I agree I think they look great, especially in person after a wash.

            I just want to stand out a little bit. I don't see too many silver/gold cars around, and painting them black is totally NOT an option, because that color combo is way too played.

            Just wanted to make the reps mine ya know?

            Any constructive criticism is welcome

                if you want to tone the inside do them in a complete custom color like a lambo grey or something then.. that would be different for sure..

                  I since have replaced the wheels, they were work brombachers in gold with polished lip. The gold color is so hard to match to the car, and on my car I didn't like how it made the rest of the paint sometimes look more yellow. Also just was not super eye catching like I thought. I agree a darker color is more eye catching if that is what you are going for - don't do a light gold, do like a bronze or something.

                              I think it can work just needs to be a stronger gold/bronze colour
