So I have some '99 Forester S 16" wheels with my Continentals for summer and I'd like to repaint them.

Here they are in stock form:

I love the stock Silver/Gold gradient but the wheels are pretty beat up, lots of knicks and scratches, so I'd need to resurface & repaint. I also hate the options for Silver paint in local auto parts stores, so I'm looking for recommendations other than basic silver. Something with a lot of metallic would look good.

I did a quick (not very good) shop in gold:

I'm open to opinions, although I'd like to avoid black as that's what I already have for my winters (picture below).

Keep in mind that I've painted the plastic trim pieces darker, they look like this:

If anyone wants to take the first picture and do some photoshops, be my guest!

Thanks in advance,

Don't go with gold paint. Go with actual gold. get those puppies plated in 24 karat gold!

I think for that I could afford real BBS wheels.
