Question Need your opinion on Gold Rims

Just wondering what you guys/gals think of these gold wheels........I know that gold wheels make a good match with white cars, but what about black? Your inputs are appreciated

In the pic it looks like they put the front wheels on the back and the back wheels on the front (based on the lip size). I say do it. I have always loved gold wheels!

Those are nice rims, of course they will look better in chrome since your car is black. Dont forget to put in some gold teeth to match the rims

+1 with what 07350frost said. imho, gold wheels only matches black. any other body color, and it looks ricey. this wheel style and color matches nicely with obsidian. good choice.

IMO, This works on your car, definitely original. I would even go as far as painting the chrome on the front (grill, lights) to match car color and getting the gold lexus emblem. Would look sweet!

I say go for it. Too many people worry about what others think and we tend to forget about what we like and makes us happy. You will never please 100% of people 100% of the time. Personnally, I think it looks great and the Top Secret Gold would be really cool.
