Do it.

I test fit a set of gold Enkei NT-3's on my NHBP a few months ago that were going on a blue RSX. The color looked mean as fark on both cars. Of course, aero does play a part, but the color pop nicely on your VBP.
My opinion...

when i think of blue with gold wheels, i instantly think of ~05 sti's

i pass by a blue sti hatchback with gold rpf1's everyday. looks nice though. not sure how a darker gold would look, maybe bronze.

I also think of sti's that was holding me back but I got over it cause I haven't seen anyone in my area with gold enkeis..,,or an ep3 lol I'm the only one around here and yeah I've seen seiborgs that car is sex ... I still wanna get a pic tho if Anyone has one I feel like the shade of gold changes between pics it's a pretty bright gold right? Also what color lugs? I was thinking red since they have a red enkei on the side

I have seen one set of gold rpf1's in person and they weren't too gold looking to me.... more like a bronze.

I know what you mean, its because bronze is toned down a notch while gold is "loud" and pops.

Go for the gold.
