I'd like to keep the look of the Hakone intact, which means bronze wheels. I looked at possibly expanding my choices to include gold, but decided against it. You might think there isn't much difference, but every image I've seen of a green car with gold (yellow) wheels reminds me of a John Deere. And the Packers. Sorry, I'm a Bears fan.
Another possible direction would be to get some Torq Thrusts and go for a mini-Bullitt look.
What say ye?

my 2¢. I am waiting (no so) patiently for the Apex EC-7Rs, in satin bronze, to go back on sale.

I'll then put some thing (other than Primacys) on the 'stockers'. Though I do like that I can consistently get a 2nd gear chip with them.
