Default Gold wheels??

Well i'm thinking of painting my wheels gold w/ polish lip for kind of a new look. what do you guys think?? Right now i'm going for the silver/polish and black look for a more luxury look. Later i want to respray the car white. Just wanting other opinions.

**dont mind the driver-side quarter panel. Bought the car like that and it will be fixed soon.

Pic of my wheels and car as it sits currently:

If you are planning on painting it white in the future, I would leave them alone. I think those wheels look good also as they sit on black. But I understand about wanting a new look. Good luck with your decision making.

+1.... Looks good as it is but will also look good in gold/polish lip.... Maybe have someone photoshop it real quick and compare them side by side.

I've been rocking gold wheels for about 3 years now...I'm not trying to be biased here, But I honestly think that gold wheels look really good on red cars only, Your car already looks good the way it is now, you should leave your wheels just the way they are...Here are some examples of gold wheels on a renaissance red '95 SC300 (The gold emblems accent it very well too! )...

Im trying to do the opposite, just to change it up a little. But for now, it sits like this.. Doesnt look right for some reason, maybe because there 18"s??
