Default Why do my wheels have gold emblems?

My car is pearl white and has silver emblems everywhere except the wheels and tip of the antenna, they are both gold. This cant be normal. Anybody else have gold "L" on thier wheels or gold antenna?

I do. My car originally had gold emblems. I got rid of them and put chrome, but didn't do anything with the wheels.

your car probably had the gold package before and the previous owner swapped in the chrome emblems before you bought it. I had the same package, all that's left in gold now are the antenna tip and logo wheel caps.
