need opinions on wheel color

so im getting ready to put my coilovers on, get new tires and what knot, but i decided that im going to paint my stock wheels, since im going to get wheels down the road..im leaning towards black but i kinda like the look with gold wheels, you guys think base stock wheels would look good in gold? or should i just go black?

I'm doing mine in gold this summer, so I'm subscribing just to see if you're going to be the proverbial guinea pig here.

I think gold would look better than black

No gold. It'll look like a lame re-make of Smoky & the Bandit.

Black on black looks sporty/sleeper.

IMO, Gold would look better on a Black car. But why not a Bright Silver and then clear coat.

Eenk, I vote for the black too. I think the gold is kind of an outdated look. For your black TL, a gloss black wheel will do you good.
