Or whatever you choose, I'd go with gold to match your gold CF hood.

Yeah, gold CE's would look sick.

Off topic, is your hood gold CF or Carbon Kevlar?

1. Chrome/Polished = YUCK

2. Gold will look good. Dunno if these will fit your budget..

3. Might not clear the Brembos.

4. Not bad.. But I really think you should look at Gold rims. Otherwise that gold hood will look out of place.

5. Good, and cheap, definately within your budget. Though Rotas have a bit of a mixed reputation around here.

6. Look good. Not sure what they are or what they cost. Or if they'll clear the Brembos.

#1 and #2 are the same wheel.

I think an 18" XD9 in bronze would look real good on that car.

if you can run the 9" or not is a different question.

Since 1 & 2 are the same, those in Gold or Bronze in 18's by your choice! Just pick whichever color is closest to the part in your cars hair.
