So Im about to get my Work Rezax I refinished in Black Chrome, this might change but I need help on deciding on the finish I want the bolts to be in. Now my number 1 choice would be gold but its 24k gold and its $3.50 a bolt and there 160 bolts, you do that math lol. I want them to stick out on the wheel, I been thinking about teal or another color. I just dont want the color choice to be over done and it looks like sh*t. What do you guys think?

Colors and finish can be seen there: http://dippedparts.com

Said wheel, I know not the best picture.

just go gold, then save up a bit longer for the TYPE-R front end... If gold is what you really want, why settle for second?

Is there any color on any trim parts like red or blue? If so I'd match the bolts to the rest of the trim. If not I'd go with neo chrome.

Who the hell ever says "Go for the green"? No..it's "Go for the GOLD!" haha. It'll suck savin up but at the end of the day you're going to want/wish you went gold. Then save up for the Type-R front dude. Never settle on anything in life.

Tried Neo-Chrome, the surface is too small.

Wait a minute, in those pics it looks like the wheel bolts are already gold? Am I missing something here?

They are gold, thats the original color. The wheels are 10+ years old and there some rust on the bolt and the nut. So I am refinishing the whole wheel to fix some curbs and make them look brand new.
