I love it

What you need is the pargu version of the wheel but anodised gold

I am considering getting them for my Optima Gold Celebration chassis build, either that or use the gold Turbo Optima Pargu wheels but I think they will stay on the Optima Mid SE-X

This hobby can do your head in trying to decide on which parts go on which project ...

LOL, no worries, not offended. Glitter gold is not a cup of tea for everyone, althought I have to say in it's defense that the camera does not really makes justice to it. In real life view it looks way better, the glitter is much more subtle and more decent and elegant looking, but it barely shows on the pictures so I have to play with contrast and colors with an enhancer to show the glitter effect for us to be able to see it.

The glitter gold in my opinion gives it more of a vintage look and now with the retro wing it really looks way cooler than before with the lexan wing. I am now planning on getting some glitter gold vintage style numbers to replace the #209 on the number plate.
Does anyone know where I can find such numbers in the propper size?

Here is a picture with no enhancement, you can see is more of a texture effect rather than glittering effect, still the picture looks off of how it looks in person.
