I like the gold wheels but at the same time they kinda stand out a bit from the black & white theme on the car... Did you paint them or have them powder-coated?

There AAC rings. The ebay ones are not clean at all compaired the aac's. Actually the complete brandy new headlight assembly came from them with rings installed. I had to eventually take them both back apart though, one had a bug in the light, and the other one of the rings broke in the light. And since I have done a bunch of is300 headlights, with paint and ring install. So get the 6k, 8k is def. too blue.

Seems like 90% of white IS's have black wheels. I got to be different. As far as the color, I used some krylon paint and clearcoat from walmart. Couple cans for $10 and a few hours of time they went from silver to a gold color. Sprayed them about 2 years ago during the winter.
