WWP with Axis Reverbs - Gold w/ polished Lip?

So I've been waiting to buy rims and I love the look of Gold with Polished lips. So far I can only find the Volk SF Challenge and the Axis Reverb that fit the 8. I don't know of any other gold with polished lips available (unless I powdercoat them myself). We all know what the SF Challenge rims look like but what do you guys think about the Axis Reverbs in Gold - do they work with the white 8?



I'd love it if someone could recommend other possible Gold with Polished lipped rims that are compatible with the 8.

The definitive list of Gold rims with polished lips compatible with the 8:
1. Volk -SF Challenge
2. Axis - Reverb
3. Volk - LE28N (discontinued)
4. Sportmax - 962 Gold
5. Speed Star - D5R
6. Volk - GT-V (special order in gold)
7. Volk - GT-S (special order in gold)
8. ....

Volk Racing LE28N has a polished lip and comes in gold. I'm not sure if you can still get them, though.

I have the volk gt-s wheels in gloss black but they can be ordered in gold. It doesn't really take all that long to get the color you want direct from the factoy. Problem is that all volks will take about 3 months to order, so to order gold itll only take about another week or two so its not a big deal. I like the gt-s because its a bit cleaner of a design and it offers more lip than the sf-challenge in the same offset.

Thanks for the tip off about getting a special order of gold paint straight from the Volk factory.

Nice list of wheels.... I guess only good looking rims get to make it to gold!
