    Just installed my 04 STi silver BBSs. Prolly going to P'coat my 07 stock WRX wheels flat black for snowy fun. I don't think my Urban Gray could handle pure gold, maybe a dark bronze...

    Nice job.

    I especially love the gold valve stems.

    I probably would have put down some cardboard. Keeps the gold off the floor. :)
