Don't suppose anyone knows the colour code or name of the colour on these wheels? Havent been able to find it and want to get as close to this colour as possible on my wheels.

Anyone?

It might even be a bronze :?
Here's a Kong Helium wheel in bronze:

The warm sunlight at sunrise hitting the wheels in the original pic could be making them appear more gold.

Same wheels but the paint looks much more bold in the early morning photo.

What i might try, in order to get a darker looking gold like that, is give it a base coat of black, so its like a toned down gold.

I'll be doing it tommorow all day, hopefully im satisfied, i'll post up pics if i can.

Cheers again teal!
