That looks badass

I think the black stripes make the gold withstandable

It's all in the lighting. I've seen those color F-Bodies in person and I'm not a fan.

Looks good but black wheels with a good shine would go really good on it, really set it off. The paints really shiny so having polished wheels hurts it. The black TTIIs would compliment the stripes and not take away from the paint, golds a flashy enough color as is dont need the wheels to be.

I think it looks good, but I tend to disagree with the black wheel. I think the black wheels would bring to much darkness to the car. I say that cause i have a black t/a with black zr1's. but like previously stated just my opnion.

Ehh I like it and think it would be a cool color to have. Although I am a fan of rare colored F-bodies.

True but your cars black, the black wheels would contrast with the bright gold on that car not match it like on a black car
