Very very nice. Great looking MCS.

Leave your 18" wheels as is.

Save the "gold color" for the rotors of a Big brake kit- it's required with big rims. No joke. The stock rotors look out of place.

Realy sharp.
There was a time when gold rims were just way to overdone, thanks to BBS. I think that now they re on their way back and are something I've been thinking about for my track wheels. Of the ones I have seen, yours are particularly nice. Good job![font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font]

I'm saving up don't worry. It's just a lot of money. I guess its not much more than the rims themselves but I needed new tires soo...
