    I like it. Maybe it's the light but the color looks darker than I thought it would.

    Now what about the bearing caps?

    Looks good to me. I like the red and gold. I'm usually not a fan of gold either.

    That looks really good. The only other car I've ever thought gold wheels looked good on was a blue Subaru Impreza. I can add red Mirage to that list.

    I was thinking about painting my factory wheels in gold for the winter. I wonder how plasti-dip would hold up to snow and salt.

    Thanks wellswebdesign lol, and from my experiences with plasti dip it holds up just fine in salt and snow if applied right. These arent the first wheels I have dipped by far and I live in Indiana and snow or salt hasnt effected them at all.

    Wink

    Much better with the trim rings. Now throw on the bearing caps already mentioned, and you'll be "golden".
