which route shall i go down, was planning to get my wheels powder coated black for a more aggresive look but at the last wmi meet gold was suggested as a better choice. Now i have been offered a good deal on a set of 17" gold sti rims from big farlz but dropped my brothers focus st wheels off today at the powder coaters and spotted a set done gloss black so now really dont know what to do GOLD? or BLACK?

Are you keeping the stickers? personally i like a dark bronze/brass colour a bit like the rays wheels on the S202, not as in your face as full on gold (just to throw another spanner in the works).
