Default Gold rims on tungsten pearl?

Thinking about picking up 19's but I want something different. What do you guys think about gold rims on tungsten pearl,
specifically "Linea corse lemans - gold with polish lip." Here is a link to the rims:

Or I could go the safe way with black or hyper black, but it will be boring.

+1, just do whatever you like to your car, as long as you please yourself that's all that matters

call me a hater but that doesnt look good. just being real. im sure if you keep looking youll find some wheels that grab your attention and youll know its meant to be. I say this because you are obviously having doubts since your asking us.
