Find a powdercoater near you and make sure they are okay with you getting the powder yourself, then go to prismaticpowders.com and look through their gallery. They have a LOT of colors in the gold/bronze category. I had a set of 17x9 wheels done, I bought four pounds just to be safe and they gave me the leftover. I still have close to 2 pounds left, so you are looking at about $50 in powder. They will also send you up to 5 swatches of powder on metal for free, just to see it in real life.

Unfortunately wheel plans may be on hold for a little while

The amazing part is the person left a note. Usaa adjuster has already looked at it and check is in the mail. Of course the initial evaluation isn't quite high enough to actually cover it but I'm sure it will all work out. Working at a car dealership has some perks as far as learning the ins and outs of how these things work

looking on PrismaticPowders.com---there are fuck ton of options.

Prismatic Gold looks pretty close to the shade in Cassy's last pic?

It looks almost too yellowy but then this cover looks almost spot on in this photo:

if i had a hot lava frs, i wouldve done the exact same mods as @pinaygirlcassy too

That is why I suggested the samples. Color balance depends on the camera, conditions and your monitor. Narrow it down to five you like and order swatches. Everything I've ever received from them was darker in real life than in the pics.
