Default Matte Black w/Gold snowflakes
I got bored and painted my stock snowflakes gold. What do you guys think?

Not really a fan. I'd have gone gloss with everything.
Why do you have a control arm laying in the driveway?

Looks to import to me, the rims that is. To many imports with rims that color.

I had these rims and I painted them gloss blk with a silver lip. The more you can hide these rims the better IMO.

Put some bigger and better rims on there, paint them matte gold, then drop the car down and it will look awesome.

...as it sits? No.

As posted above imo also the only way those wheels look decent are hidden (black)...they don't even look good in chrome....
