Yeah, that will be nice. But stay away from straight gold, and orange colors. They are getting way too played out. If you are re-painting it for car shows, then do something different that you like. My favorite right now is "Graple" (Metallic Black, and Purple mixed together. It gives the car a nice deep look in the paint, with a dark-purple shimmer.

there's a whole load of types of 'gold'. This might be stating the obvious (as there are loads of shades of every colour) but there's also the metalic component to involved here also - so basically, there's lots of different golds.

the danger imo lies in getting a shade of gold that's a little off from the wheels you want, that will probably look a little silly.

i also don't like the idea of the gold. my recommendation would be matt black. should look rather scary.

yeah Matt Black is a nice color, its just has to be painted right. I have seen so many Matt Black cars painted (visible blotches, and imperfections) wrong.

I personally love the color on one of Atlantic Motorsports evos. Kind of similar to the Millenium Jade found on GTRs, but slightly darker and more gunmetalish.

Millenium Jade or Midnight Purple are dope :]

I like the dark gold like the "Top Secret" gold; not the light gold that looks almost orange. Gold wheels on gold isn't cool though.
