So I just need a new set of wheels to have a nice car. Why didn't you just say that in the first place aha... Trouble is, I hate the way all wheels look on a silver gk...

I picked these up for 200 and refinished them, could probably sell them for profit...

Now that I looked at the car in person today, I might go with a darker gunmetal, but not quite black... Almost to match the carbon fiber and window tints.

I won't have to prep and repaint to the full extent. Just give them a quick sand to get rid of the clearcoat and then just paint and clear...

Isn't that more of a bronze? Gold glistens. "all that glistens is not gold". Even still, those gold wheels don't go with the colors of the car. Even on your car, red or black would go better.

Darker gunmetal to match the CF.
