Black with gold flake sounfs like it would look real nice...
I can't say that I care for the gold rims... Maybe if they were another color, chromed or polished aluminum (then powder coated)....

Definately looks awesome. Black w/ gold flake would be kinda like the WRX color Java Black Pearl (i think that's what it's called). Should look awesome.
(also...this should be moved to mods forum. Thanks Mods  )

No my SVX is not lowered. The wheels are 18" Axis Se7ens with 215-40-18 Pirlelli P Zero Systems. They were cut from blanks for Creig Leiberman. I picked them up on eBay. They have a great story behind them, (their from the movie) Thanks for all the replys so far

Looks very nice. What's the width and offset of those wheels?

Your SVX looks very nice (and I usually don't care for black cars). Black with gold flake should look terrific with those wheels. May I also suggest that you look into gold pinstripes.
I notice that your brake clipers are red. Did you paint them yourself ?

Very nice, Hunter! I'm not the biggest fan of gold wheels but they look good on black cars. I think Larry's suggestion is a great one. Gold pin stripes would definitely help tie the wheels in with the rest of the car. The gold flake paint will certainly help (and look damned sweet!) but in a much more subtle way.
