    I am a big fan of gold rims, and I was ready to pronounce my love of gold rims in this thread, but when I saw your pic in the first post I was like . That black looks nice with your car, it must be the tail lights like everyone else is saying.

    Re: Paint Gold or Black???

    I must chime in to say that Gold does look awesome on red. I could stare at a pic of Subaru_Terrance's car forever when he had his gold rims. Now that he has black rims his car is not near good looking.
    I think its up to you, it would look awesome either way.

    Gold wheels works only on a few colors, and when it does, it works really well. Your car's color is one of them.
