    The rears are gold.

    Reason being...

    Cost cutting measures on the production of the car, nobody whips the wheels off a brand new car to see how much paint is on the inside...

    But when your paying £200 for just a wheel and you can see every inch of it, it needs to be perfect.

    Exactly the same when i used to work at Triumph, you could get away with more on production parts whereas the spares had to be spot-on.
