On the left are Pinnacle Armageddon wheels. The owner kept the brand consistent so the overall look would not feel disjointed.
This car uses another classic touch: metallic-flake paint. The base color is orange-gold, right at the heart of the style. Orange window tint ties the body together. These small details matter when coordinating colors.
