Gold? Like bling-bling gold or more of a flat gold?

Bling bling gold would = :dead: on any car.

Flat gold may be cool, but looks good on very few colors. The color of the car is more important then the car itself when you are trying to pick a wheel color.

gold and bronze only work on a few colours on a modern car.. and work on almost anything ancient.

I know gold and bronze work with Green very well... maybe some red..

my car is white and the wheels are a non bling bling gold. they actually came of a blue wrx so its the typical original wrx gold wheel colour.

would anyone have any pics or know of somewhere on the net that you can sample different wheels on different cars???

Yeah, a simple way to figure out the WRX wheels will not fit is by counting the holes. The WRX is 5 lugs the Tib is 4 lugs. :hmmm:

Gold looks good on subaru's, and on black or bright blue cars (i.e. subaru colors). Other than that... no.
