Its a very pale metalic gold.

lol np didnt think about pink, hmmmmmmmmm

this is the colour i was aiming for



did think black but dont think they would look that good due to the way the wheels is put together, i.e not the same as nutters or karls.

Katie, cheers hun - but your opinion is void due to that exact reason.

yeah keep looking at them and the more i look at them the less i like them that shade

Black dont look that good on this exact wheel IMO. But as with anything, its hard to tell untell there on the car.

Think is due to the way the centre piece is pretruded.

here's couple of pics



anyone good with photoshop want to change a picture for me?

yeah thats exactly what i think katie, the design of the wheel is completely lost when the centres are black.

Not much point having a wheel with such intricate detail if you're going to blank it out with black....multi spokes look ok as they have gaps in between ....but that just looks solid black as there's so little space between it all.

Must be getting late if you're trusting a girls opinion...christ...lol

I think the problem with the lighter gold shade is it looks very 'powdery' because of the metallic paint....the other gold looks more 'chromey' thats the only way I can describe it. Like uninterrupted smooth colour versus powdery colour?
Maybe the texture as opposed to the shade which spoils the effect?
