Just thought of a color combo that might look interesting and very unique on the turbo.

macadamia GT Street? Hmm...too much IMO. I would go with a slightly more understated yet classy look due to the color.

i think it would look okay. but something tells me the silver will look a bit better. but then again, it's all about making the car unique and to your own taste.

best wishes!

I thought they kinda match because macadamia is a retro exterior colour and gold is a retro colour for wheels....

have anybody gold plated wheels before? is it sensible application?
