Default Gold HP Evos

I am having my 77 painted black and gonna put the gold bandit decal kit on it. What do you guys think about painting/powder coating the insides of the evos gold for the 02' and changing all my firehawk decals to gold to match? I do not really like the 10th anniv firehawk's gold wheels. I think the evos will look similar to the 77's snowflake wheels. What do y'all think?

I think it would look pretty good.

I think they would look good as long as you get the proper offset for them. I remember seeing a 68 Camaro with HP's on it and it didn't look right.

Match the color of the decals. As true a gold as possible, though. The one Zeeman pointed out is the closest.

If you are doin a Bandut tribute then you picked out the perfect wheels man. Modern sizes and style but with the evos you get the honeycomb mesh kinda style like the original
