Gold rims on Thunder/Graphite Gray?

Well I got into a little wreck and let's just say my 17's that I had on are f***ed up... I'm thinking about getting a set of gold rims but I'm not sure how they'll look on my Thunder Gray OZ... Any one have any pics or photo chops?

I think this was asked in the past (I'm pretty sure I came across it when I was considering gold rims for my old lancer) and I don't think there were any pics. It's an interesting idea but it would really depend on what kind of gold you went for. The only way I could see it working is with a darker gold, almost bronze.

Yea I thought about that but I really don't bronze... If I can't find something in gold that I like I'll just go back with silver/hyper light...

Basically I don't want black, white, bronze, red, or anything like that... If anyone comes across pics of any thunder gray or graphite gray (or comparable gray) please post up pics to help me with my decision...

I personally like the bronze/gold look on the metallic gray colors, but it's really an acquired taste. I think gold would be great for track/auto-x wheels, but you'll get some funny looks with them on a street car.

my vote would go towards either a dark bronze or silver ones like ThunderOZRacer has posted. i think those would look amazing on silver or thundergrey they look expensive though
