Default I'm just curious for your thoughts

I'm considering having my rims powder coated gold. I photoshoped my wheels to get an idea of how it could look. Tell me what you think.

on your blue IS, i think it will look GREAT.

But I'm partial to gold wheels on white, black, WRX blue or dark green. I think it will look even better on your blue, since its a bit darker and more pure than WRX Blue. Go for it!!

Any other shade of blue and I would say no, but since yours is a deep, dark shade, I think it will set it off. Go for it. Loving the airbrushedf NELOC decal on the bumper BTW!!!

Your the first person to say it looks Subish. I was trying to make it a deeper gold than what is on the STI. I do want to avoid that. Oh the NELOC logo is something I made up. Yeah I can have decals made, but a decision would have to made as to would that be the official logo for NELOC. Thats up to Cherplex.
