On a black car, gold wheels could look really good. I'm not sure about the design, though. It reminds me of a TSW Venom and I always hated those!

On that basis, I think I will vote no.

might look a bit too pimp imo. polished rims are always good but usually on a darker wheel.

Im never a fan of gold anything tbh, im more of a silver man :)

bigger the wheel slower the accelaration so i dont want to go any bigger than 17" but i do agree 18" would look much better

Monster humter has them on his car but not in gold. Tallbloke also used to have them on his but again just plain silver ones.

If im honest id say dont. Theres plenty of very nice wheels out there but i think they would be questionable. I might be wrong (i usually am) :D
