Does Gold = Ghetto?
Does Gold = Ghetto? I came across a product that gave me an idea. It's a new type of clearcoat that's designed for chrome and it won't flake or peel. Right now, I'm polishing some HPR5's. I have seen that there is a "new" version of these wheels out where they've basically just painted the spokes gold and left the rim polished.
They look like this:

Okay, now here's a link to the site that sells the product that I'm thinking of using:
http://www.alsacorp.com/products/cle...h_prodinfo.htm
The end result will be that instead of the wheels looking like they've just been painted gold, they'll look like they've been plated with the real stuff.
Do you think the real gold effect will be too "much"? My car is black like the one in the Ebay ad BTW.

I have seen some Firehawks with Gold wheels and they look good, along with gold stripes. I've always seen them on black cars though. It does look good on the Pewter in the post above too.
