Debated this for a while. Ended up going with white gold metallic for my chalk dot 2. Weird as this sounds the black hides the sportiness of the car. Almost tames the beast. Whereas the gold really brings out the race car IMO. Pictures don’t do it justice. When rolling they look incredible. Wheels on 3 weeks, have had car 4 months. 3x as many looks, likes and thumbs up In that short time span. Can’t go wrong with gold

Chalk and gold are gorgeous .. no comparison with the black in my book!
Good choice Jbravo. ..

This is a picture of the scrap wheel i bought from a tire store for 40$ to run tests on.
I picked it up from the powder coater today.. Satin Poly Gold. NO top coat.
Pictures under different lighting from when i was driving home..
I must say I agree with everyone here who has chosen this color.. it is really gorgeous.. and it takes on so many different looks/characters under different lighting.

Gold all the way
I remember one time I saw a Metallic Red Pagani with Gold wheels in Newport Beach
Porsches are so conservative the Gold wheels turn them into exotics
Really completes the look of your car
with silver, grey, or black wheels they don’t do anything
the Gold is just so much better
i also was strongly changing Metallic Grey to Metallic Black
but the Gold is just so much better

Looks great. I am torn. I have the gold wheels (see avatar), but just ordered some black FI-R's. Maybe it would be different with white or chalk, but for some reason I just think gold clashes a little with silver. I still like the gold a lot, but think I will like black better.
Either way, I am keeping the stock wheels, so I will have both that I can switch back and forth.
