If you have to paint em gold, paint it all good. i dont think the silver accents the gold all that well.

I'd personally go for black or gunmetal type color, but that's just me. It looks a lot better than I thought it would though. If you do decide to paint it gold, do like sikcrx said and paint the centercap too.

gold with polished lip and gold center, if and only if you really want to. a graphite would look much better. not black though, black rarely works

Re: Paint rims GOLD or no?? need opinions PHOTOCHOPPED
 
I've photochopped the black wheels... i think it looks :8

but i'm deff not :8 hhahahaha... all of them are up in Providence.

The hood spacers were on there from about a year ago (seriously... last december.)
I had to put them in because i had SERIOUS overheating issues w/ my stock size radiator on my built D setup @ 15psi... Turned out to be an almost blown headgasket... Venting the hood cured the problem for 3 months!!! until the HG finally ---- the bed. ITS ALSO AN AWESOME WINDOW DEFROSTER IN THE WINTER TIME!!! nothings better @ de-icing my windshield than this!!!!!

And on a gay note: It matches my sunroof when it's popped open


But i've always liked gold / bronze rims. I would most likely go Bronze.

BUT OOH... THE IDEA ABOUT PAINTING THE INTERCOOLER and end tanks to match!!! :S hahaha.
