I liked the gold on black. I say gold,black, or all black. Burleson powder coater's does a great job, cheep too. They got a bunch of colors to choose from. Or you can go Monster Energy on it, & do a toxic green. Im sure glad u stripped those wheels though. Or you could trade me for my chrome mesh rpm 505's
