Phil (aka Pruhnke) has gold Volk CE28's on his Spa and it looks really nice

I'm not a fan of black wheels on any car, since you can't see the details in the rims

I'd stay away from the gold with a polished lip on yellow, try to get something that's all one color, IMO, of course.

You can usually find some good deals in main FS section.

I think they both look pretty good. Gold has the jdm vibe, black has the, I'm eclectic look. . . . kinda, either way, if it changes the look of your car its yummy.

and yea, no silver SimpleMister...

Just trade your black RPF-1's for my custom painted Rota Slips.

that gold is odd, seems like a mustard gold. The black comes off to plain and like mentioned the wheel looks dull. If it were up to me i would have to go with the xd-9 in silver or d2 in polished. no gold nor black.

i agree. it works but its really hard to make the wheel to stand out. and i think he wants flashy, i dont think black is the best bet.
