Default thinking about gold wheels

what do you guys think? thinking about powdercoating my wheels a bright gold color.

here's a pic of a new 600rr with them. my color scheme has a little more black in it though.



here's the only pic i have of my bike right now ( a little old ). the bike now has a hotbodies undertail, proton sidemarkers, and the white cbr decals off the tail and front fender:



wondering if the gold might look a little off with the 3 spoke wheels as opposed to the mulitspoke carro wheels.

give me your opinions. another option would be a gloss black look too.

dont waste your money on that man. Get some reflective red rim stripes. its cheap and really sets off the wheel.

i love the gold carros but they're too expensive for a 17" rims right now. beautiful though.
