Ive been debating on repainting my wheels. After months of waiting I got tires, painted and mounted the RS 5 spokes, that was last June so they've been on there a while. I really love the gold but at the same time I kinda want to go with something new so any opinions? The lighting in the first picture makes them look a little darker and more bronze then they are, so theres more pictures of what they really look like.

if ur car wasn't red then i'd say paint them .. but the red/gold combo compliments the overall look of the car.

RS 5 spokes look amazing in gold...If anything...maybe 2 tone it...Gold/silver ring and the spokes in black/gunmetal.

Gunmetal looks pretty hot... if I do "spray" so myself!

BTW, if you tinted the windows, the gold really pops.

The hood was resprayed and the drivers side fender and front bumper were replaced after being hit and got fresh paint. Same with the drivers side rear door on a separate occasion. Check my members ride thread for some before pics.

Planning on buying tint here soon actually. Way overdue
