Axis Halos or Gold rims on a VR in general

So I photoshopped these gold Axis Halos onto my car... I made them too big on accident but you get the idea. If I order these it will be 18" and I'll make sure to get some Tein s-techs to drop it a bit so the rims fill out better. I think it looks pretty slick, what does everyone else think? (brakes are shopped too)

Lose the center cap, and you'll be fine.

Personally I think the Volk Racing SF-Challenge or Ultralite GT-II is a better look if you wan't gold rims.

Thanks for the replies guys. I do like the axis halos and they're pretty cheap but I'm gonna keep looking around. I think I am gonna go with either gold rims or black ones.

I have a question though, I've seen tires on 8s here that look like they're bulging off the rim. I think it looks really good. Is this look achieved by buying tires that are wider than the rim?

Wheels look good and the color will be perfect but I want that brake kit. Is that a 17" rotor up front...

Wow I like how those rims look but the gold is a little too bright. Any other ideas on gold rims? I saw volks and ultralites.
