Gold Wheels!!!

I've been thinking of how to make my car stand out in this forum. and i realized what i shall do... since every IROC that has been modded on the exterior dumped the gold and got chrome, polished, or silver and black i'll stick whit my stock colors of :rockon: :rockon: GOLD :rockon: :rockon:. so i'll get ???17''s or 18''s ??? with the gold stripe package. i just whant to show people how cool gold looks when done right.

am i on to something or am i crazy??? would gold look cool???





picture these in 18''s OMG!!!

You're right, it does look :rockon:, but would look :nono: if they were gold.

Hmmmm, that's not my car. Is it yours? OK, just checking, wanted to make sure you knew it wasn't mine. Stripes are from an 85-87, car, wheels are from an 88-90. But I'm guessing you knew that too!



You're right, it does look , but would look if they were gold.
It's all good......some people just can't appreciate the GOLD!!!

I love Gold 86-88 IROC rims and GTA's. It is a cool colour, only really the Subaru Imprezza's use them these days. It was big news in the 70's on Ferrari's and the like.

We should start a 'keep the gold' campaign

I'm in!

Felix,

I take it you finally made your mind up then? It took a while, but in the end you saw the light.
