like you're a pimp. Not as in pimping your car, but as in you run a string of prostitutes in dt L.A.

I do like the Pepper White color though.

I don't know about gold, but I think right bronze wheels would look

Agree, that's why I got mine a set of bronze because I think pepper white is not really THAT white, but like white with a very light grey tone. So, if gold with a light grey tone, possibly turn to bronze or matt gold, but definitely not gold, it will be too bright.

In fact, the bronze will turn into something like graphite color, when I did not wash my MCS for some time, so one set of wheel with two set of color

You can see my MCS at the link below my sig..

Pepper White is a very warm color. I got mine with stone guards (they didn't last more than 3 weeks on the car) and did not realize until I looked at the spec that they are "dark brown" and not black. Their compatibility with my car's color made me appreciate how warm (trace of yellow) Pepper White is.

When I got aftermarket wheels I wanted a warm tone such as bronze but the shop recommended black to complement the car's top (there aren't many styles of bronze wheels). Black was my second choice so I did not mind. I was pleased the instant the wheels were installed. The car now looks stripped down--variation of industrial chic--which suits me fine. I will post a pic if I drive the car this weekend.
