here they are in the sunlight
my advice is to get what YOU like not what other people like... I wanted gold and many people said no that will not look good, or you will have a hard time selling them, or that is so 80s, etc...
I listened to my inner voices (and Dell would not sell me his silver ones when he sold his car even though I asked over and over and over politely etc
) so I ordered what I wanted and some people dig them and other people think they are ugly... I like them.
I wish I could get "golder" headlight skins like these but I do not know where to find them (not lamin x and not headlight armor)

plus the nice thing is that you can refinish them when you get tired of them in what ever color you like
stock is
Gold
Silver
and Black
but do whatever you like with them.
I would highly suggest if you are going to drive them on the street - buy them made up with heavier rim half's the intial cost is about the same but it makes them a lot more durable (and a bit heavier as well)
i would also do this if you are a copping hopper at the track.

thanks once again guys, especially for all the pics and comments.
it is 100% going to be gold, i am now convinced entirely.
ive had to travel with work so wont be ordering until i get back and the holiday period is out of the way.
following on from the last post, anyone got any thoughts on how i should get the rims set up and what weights i should be looking into? rims ahead or behind of centre etc?
obviously the lightness is a major attraction but i love the look most of all. these are pretty much going to be street only. ill use stockers for track work.

FYI, you may want to use some silicon sealant on the rim if you use them on the street to prevent air seepage. I haven't had a problem with mine but I know a few others that have.
Don't worry about bending them or anything, they are easy and cheap to straighten. I only bent one hitting the pothole tracking out of 4 at cal speedway...hard..i thought i was going to crack my windshield
