Looks pretty good. Gold band is a little thick, but still nice. The painted sail and mirrors compliment the wheels well..

Hey:

Looks real good tughug, nice change on a great wheel.

Body colour wheels, are awesome, Black & Gold looks pure.

Great choice

Looks real good, man. I like what you did with the spoiler, too. Very different. I think black or gold calipers would look good. Maybe with "Trans Am" decals on them like the Vettes.

If I had heard that described before I saw it I would have thought it would look like total ***. BUT, you really pulled it off, great job..... and I second the vote for black calipers. The Gold would take away from teh look you have IMO.

that looks nice, i like that you just painted the lip and not the whole damn wheel like some ppl do. what you did adds a very nice touch of character


Thumbs UP!

I dig it. I'll be converting mine to powdercoat gunmetal when I get back to the states. I'm tired of chrome.
