Volk serves up gold two ways. The gold you pictured as well as the special order noble gold I pictured. Nothing is wrong with people - Obama is president!

Never seen them in person but it does seem like based on most pics (excluding the one just posted) the Gold on volks looks really light.

Same thing with Works... in Work's pictures the gold looks like a dark orange but in real photos the wheels are obviously much lighter.

I vote OZ.

::edit -- Just saw the above post, rock on::

noble gold is NOT gold. it's champagne colored. do not make the mistake and order noble gold...i'm almost positive that you will NOT like it. the regular gold on the SF is very bright and definately noticeable. not so much like the ADVAN gold tho...that's just really dark gold.

voted halo's. the challenge is just too busy for my tastes, especially around the lip, which i am also not a fan of. no hate for volk's andi dont put them on a pedestal because theyre expensive. i just dont like the styling on this particular wheel.
