Actually he was responding to Weesped's comment who questioned why would someone put gold rims on a black car. He wasn't being sarcastic.

Gold wheels look good, but for some reason silver, machined, mirror, gunmetal, or black always looks better IMO.

IMHO, the gold look is a bit dated, prefer silver or black.

I think gold wheels look good on white cars in particular. Black cars would be pushing it. Any other color would look like a clown car ( unless you have the letters STI on your front bumper )

Gold wheels, definetly look sick. Though after awhile it gets kind of old on you. I had Volk GT-N's in Gold on my black Supra before, then I swapped them out for GT-C's In gunmetal.

I' was debating on my GFM, gold, chrome, or polish.....

Wow, your car is shinny. With that lighter shinny shade of gold and the chrome lip, I think it looks ok. Different/original but looks good. Trying to think if chrome would be a better choice; not sure. Either way, your car would look good. I agree with 1stlxs that if you are going with it, then gold emblems would complete the look but I would keep the grill chrome and just change the emblems - it will match your chrome lip and gold rim color scheme.
