I would guarantee that Top Secret gets their wheels directly from Rays in Japan as they are in Japan as well. They wouldn't have their wheels sent to the US first from Rays then back to Japan again.
And about the paint, sorry for my poor word choice. Maybe they don't have the "rights" to a given color, but they're most certainly not going to give away the "recipe". And you can rest assured that "approval" by Top Secret as to which cars can even purchase the paint from them involves a very stringent "application process".

i honestly think to wear top secret color is definitely an honor and definitely someting to show off .. and it would be the 1st TS evo around and can't imagine what the coverage on that would be like ...

To get the official Top Secret paint, I think you have to write to them, and give them pictures of your car that you intend to paint. It's not 100% that they'll sell it to you, since they specialize in Toyota and Nissan cars...all about branding. But it looks like they've reached out or are going to reach out to Subies

I think the gold looks awesome.. to bad that wasnt a factory color. The only three colors I would paint my car would be british racing green, gold or a redish orange metallic color ( more red then orange)
