Gold Wheels, Should I do it?

i just picked up these gold 10 spokes 18's for like 200 bucks. local unloading them really cheap

i have a WWP and idk how they will look on it. if i decide not to put them on as my street tire they will become my autox set

what do you think. pic attached was photoshoped. i have no clue what i think about it. could be cool but not sure

I don't like em, but I guess if they are just for racing it doesn't matter. What wheels are they?

they were in rota boxes, the specs on the boxes matched the specs on the wheels. but i dont think they are rotas. the wheels were being sold for his brother so he didnt know

may just spray them black and make it a race set idk

Haha reminded me of those gold infomercials for some reason.

Gold looks great on white IMO. Like mentioned before, you can't really go wrong for $200 even if they're strictly a race set.

Sorry if I stole any pictures and edited them
Found these pictures I saved long time ago and photoshopped them to white.

step 1: take off wheel A.
step 2: replace wheel A with wheel B.
step 3: decide if you like wheel B.

no need to remove tires. i think it may look ok, but painting them white or black would be awesome

i think the gold looks good with the WWP, just not that rim design.

x2, Those spokes look like the cheap ones ricers always have around here.

Those gold "volks" look really good though.
