Default Looking for some new rims...

I don't want a generic look. I want a goldish color, similar to these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43958
(except I want ones that will actually fit my '95 'stang). Any ideas?

These also look to be about the same color. I want to spend as little as possible.

Bad lighting on the second makes it look "goldish." Description says factory originals, and they didn't come from the factory with that swanky pimp-daddy "goldish" look that you so desire.

You want something Goldish??I think it's great to be different, out of the ordinary...but I guess my question is...do you have your heart set on Gold?? You can do other colors and still not look 'generic'. How about like a Hyper black?? Chrome black?? Just a suggestion. As for your choices now, I would suggest the second one if you end up going with one of the two above. Good Luck!

Personally I don't think it would look very good being gold, but if thats what you really want then by all means, do it.
Your best bet would be to buy some silver rims and then have them powdercoated gold. Maybe some Saleen 18s powdercoated gold would be a good option (personally I think silver Saleen 18s would looks awsome). I don't think you will be able to find many rims that will fit your car that are gold.

What are the cheapest sites to look at for just regular rims then? I'll try and get them powdercoated like you said (any estimates on price?). Thanks again for the help.

Check out the links above, tirerack.com, discount and ebay and see what you like.
I had my rims on my old Z28 powedercoated black for $200 for all 4. If you find something you like, print out a pic of it and take note of the size (18x9 or 17x9 or whatever) and bring it to a few places and see what they will charge you.

I think these would look the best and I would keep them silver, but if you want to go gold then these wouldn't look to bad in gold either. Saleens
