Default Do you think stock gold rims look bad on PSM STi?

I came across a deal I could not pass up on some gold rims on eBay about a year ago. They have been in my basement.

On the way up to the Wicked Big Meet, I hit a large rock, and it dented one of my silver rims. I could have had it repaired, but time was of the essense, so I put the goldies on.

One of my friends says it looks like ass - but I kind of like the look. It's a semi-rare color combo IMO.

What do you think?

IMO it looks very nice. Another good thing about it is a lot of people are scared that it won't look good so it is pretty rare to see.
