How would gold wheels look on my Max?...

Well I'm going up tomorrow to have my wheels refinished. I've narrowed it down to these 3 choices.

I think gold would look really sharp, and I do plan to get my doorhandles painted if that influences your decision any. Ever since I saw the HKS Altezza I've liked gold wheels and I think they would look awesome on a dark red car. Oh yea and this will be a light paint gold, don't think it's going to be reflective like those lowrider rims.

Please post your opinion, I swear this is the last time I will talk about this issue.
Thanks,
-Cyrus

EDIT:
This color gold

On this set of rims on this car

Ask for Craig Mack's opinion. You might get the problem resolved in a few weeks.

Gunmetal w/ a polished lip would look really nice. Gold would look tacky as hell.

If I wanted Craig's opinion I would've asked for it.. atleast 12 months in advance.

As for the rims, I don't think I have enough of a lip to polish it but I am pretty sure I will go with a light gunmetal at this point.
