Default New Drop on some Winter wheels

Well since I decided to keep the car. I couldn't help but start modding again. . I'm thinking about repainting the wheels in gold. I think gold on black would look awesome.

RPM 505's
Wheel Specs are
Fronts: 245/40/19 -19x8.5
Rears: 275/40/19 -19x9.5
I believe the offsets are +38 I'm don't quite remember
Rears needed to be rolled.

Suspension
Supra Koni Yellows w/ Eibach prokit

Drop is so nice. Tires are tucked.

Any feed back is appreciated.

Fronts barely have any wheel gap. Rears are Tucked. I think a front lip will set it off right. I'm currently looking for a BIG WIN front lip Or Pre-97 lip for modification.. So if anyone has. Pm me. !

+1 for gold! Looks clean, big win front lip would set it off perfectly. I think it was boaser or something, he had a BW lip on his black 97, it looked great!

How do the supra koni yellow shocks ride?

Thanks for all inputs guys. Im waiting for the weather to get a bit sunny and hot so i can spray the wheels. As for the ride with the konis, the ride is OEM feeling, a little stiffer not big difference. Koni's FTW. Had bad experience with tokico's in the past. And yea. I live in the Elk grove.

-1 for gold.

gold = ugly IMO.

chrome or silver = better
