I have tried Aurum and it didn't not work. Now I had one wheel done in Weissach Gold and I'm not 100% sold. Its satin right now and they are going to add a high gloss clear to see if that helps any.
I think this type of wheel just doesn't work with these colors because it has too much surface area.
Any opinions Gloss Black

You need to get away from the entire wheel in a single color. Get some *contrast* in there. Paint the center and leave the barrel a light color. Or paint the centers of the spokes a darker or lighter (like the 911 50th’s wheels) color.
I agree about needing contrast on a wheel with such large spokes. Just look at how good the classic Fuchs on the lift look in comparison because of the contrasting finishes.
Getting them mounted with gloss white gold.
will post pictures.
Not sure if you still own this car. I am curious how this wheel would look if the center was satin black and the lines were satin aurum similar to the OEM black and silver wheel.

I love gold wheels, but I think they work best with motorsports styled wheels, plain narrow spokes or bbs mesh. Im not sure large flat spokes is ideal Honestly, but the pic labeled aurm doesnt look bad though.
I agree, a bit too much surface area for the gold. I did my wheels in the satin white gold and it works for me, but if the spoke was much bigger maybe not. I like your wheels with black and the silver accents like in post #8
