White Bird, Gold Rims? Anyone here have a white 4th gen with gold rims? I am buying a set of BBS LM's for my 96 WS6. Original plan was to powder coat them gunmetal and match a racing stripe, but they are already powder coated gold. Im thinking gold on white is clean, but may be a little too ricer-tuner style for a bird to pull off, especially with lace rims. Im just looking for opinions options and pictures if you have them!!

There are two sets im looking at, one set is real, one set is replica. Im going to see the difference between the two before i decide. The real ones are $2500. The replicas are $750 with tires. If i go with the reps i could also get my cam headers and maybe my coil-overs.
As far as the gold thing, like i said, the plan all along was to get the rims and then powder coat them gunmetal. But white on gold usually looks good, especially on 3rd gens as stated. SO i may just see. I was trying to gauge my reaction so i didn't do anything too fast that i would regret later.

i know what you mean, but some reps are bad, i mean just really bad as far as quality goes. And these rims have step lips which can get fubered as well. If i dont get my cc503 etc this week, then i only have to wait until taxes, not too long.
