So I need some new tires on my car and I was thinking of putting on some new shoes as well while im at it. I've search some wheel websites and cant seem to find any 18" gold or bronze rims. I was looking for something similar to the gold rims you see mostly on subies. I'm looking to pay around 14 or 15 hundred for both the tires and wheels. I got a pretty good price on some tires which leaves me about 8-9 hundred for some wheels. Can anyone help a fellow dubber out? TIA.

Anyone with gold rims?

Are you serious? There are literally dozens of gold or bronze rims that will fit our cars; Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct even have some so searching is practically unneeded...
This one is very similar to the BBS on Scoobies, and lightweight as well: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...agen&autoModel=GLI&autoYear=2009&autoModClar=

Lucky they're still there. About a week ago I was about 2 seconds from pulling the trigger on them. But I decided on a synth instead. Something I could actually use, as opposed to something that just looked good. If you've got the cash, go for it, man. Then post up pics.
Where in TX? I'd like to see them in person if you end up getting them.

I live near Denton, which is about 25 miles north of Dallas. How long you gotta wait for the cash to come in?

$1200 gets you a set of 18" Forgestar F14 wheels. They're very lightweight weighing in at 17.6 pounds for an 18x8.5 wheel. They are also flow formed as opposed to being a cast wheel making them stronger and lighter.

I was going to say Raderwerks, but got beat to it. Those Works wheels look nice but are wrong bolt pattern, at least my GTI is 5 x 112. While you are shopping be sure to note the weight of wheels, lighter is better if you care about performance.
The Radrewerks LW-10 is fairly light, comes in bronze, not too pricey, and comes in the proper bolt pattern. For a bit more $$ those Forgestar looks great!

Man, those Forgestars are pretty sweet, too. Especially with such a low weight. That's saving almost 10 lbs/corner over the stockers.
