If there is anyone looking for gold wheel paint, grimmspeed sells a bbs gols in a rattlecan. $14 per can. Ill put some pics up when I paint the old stock 15s. Kinda a piontless thread, but I looked for like 2 months for the getto can gold

Id like to see the results as one of my bbs wheel's needs some work done.

+1 on results.

Nasioc claims the Duplicolor chrome gold is a close match, I do not agree.

I concur, Duplicolor metalcast gold is FTL! They do, however, make a dark gold/bronze wheel paint that looks pretty good. I like the older (~93-96), darker WRC gold better than the newer, lighter STi gold that grimmspeed has replicated.
I can provide pics of the darker gold on WRX wheels, if anyone is interested.

Yup, we're all just sitting here waiting for pics of something lol.

For the sake of posting pictures. Here is just a random spray paint that looked like what I wanted. If anyone wants to know what it is I can try to find the can when I get home this weekend. I'm gonna try to find something more like the old WRC gold though on the Legacy, or the early GC.

Not a great pic, but best I can find

I notice your turn signals are completely amber... Looks kinda cool. Nice car btw, why haven't i seen MOAR pix yet?

Apex3, we need close up's of the wheels lol

Thanks, pics are scattered around, and it keeps changing, so you likely have seen more but I don't have a whole lot of pictures.

Sorry dude, that's why I said "Not a great pic, but best I can find" I don't have the wheels anymore so I can't take more pics. I only posted because this thread was lacking pictures, if I come across a better one I'll share.

Sorry for the late reply. I got the wheels painted(stockers) they look pretty good. Im getting some tires mounted on them right now, but when i get them back ill snap off some pics

I forgot about this thread.
Here's my contribution. Its the best pic I have before I sold the car:

The original gold used on most BBS wheels is from Wurth.

So I used 2 cans on them(stock wheels) and one can of clear. I think they look pretty good, but I don't know about how good the paint will hold up. I have had them on the car now for 5 days and they seem to do good, but no tellin yet. The other wheels (wrx) are not a bbs gold match. The fello that I got them just powdercoated them a gold color, but not the bbs gold, and they are really dirty in the pics.

Just so you all know fireston winterforce tires are the SHIT in the snow.
