This is truly a good example of poor logic. This may be the case in Hawaii, but not everywhere. Usually when I see gold rims on a car, they're racing rims and the folks driving the cars aren't drug dealers. You shouldn't generalize.

Nice rims though. I wouldn't do the gold, but I do like the rim design.

Nice photoshop... it does need the drop.
oh man... i wanted to try to CW and Gold rims..
i wasnt as brave as you though... i might go with black....
but its nice to see how it looks...
it might look nicer with little more work though...
if u dont do gold right... its just WRONG...
so.. ditch the rims.. or go all out...

p.s gold does look REAL NICE if u can get it to blend it rite...

gold on white is teh sex, and a drop is nice, but as an ex-gtc owner i know that the rims smaller than it should be in some angles.

Gold on white is pretty much the quintessential JDM look. In my opinion it's one of the best wheel color/car color combos out there.

Just because you sport Gold wheels doesn't mean you gotta get gold emblems. Like other people have stated, Gold wheels is the "JDM" look.

Black on gold is also very sexy!

Another prime and common example on the 350Z.

Gold wheels do look nice.

Too racey for my taste, though.

kinda looks like when someone wears gold rings and a silver watch. the rims would work on a gold edition. just like with fashion, don't mix gold and silver!

I'd like to start by saying thank you for all the compliments. I know it was a risk to put them on, but I personally think they look even better in person. I've had many compliments by friends and strangers over the short period of time I have had these.

Sieze: That photoshop looks REALLY good, looks like i'll be getting a drop sooner than expected. Thanks.

pocky: That 350z looks very nice. My friend's 350z actually gave me some confidence to go with it. (picture below)

Once again thank you for all the compliments.
Also, thanks to those who didn't like the color combo. I appreciated your input and also glad you guys didn't rip me to badly.

here's danny's 350z
