Rays use 3 different gold color..

Noble Gold - super light color Gold
2pc Gold (mostly GT color Gold)
1pc Gold (gold on TE,CE & RE)

on TS Gold they are the same as 1pcs Forged..

Basically, the gold on the Top Secret Edition TE37 is the same exact wheel as the gold LE37T, just with a Top Secret sticker on the wheel. The gold on the Top Secret wheel is a different color than the 2 piece GT and SF wheels. So if you were to compare a gold GTF. to a Top Secret TE37 or VOLK LE37T, the gold would not be the same. But if you compare the Top Secret TE37 to a VOLK LE37T, it would be exactly the same.

Thanks for the input Andy. I've always wondered this myself.

With that said, does anyone know what the color code is for the TS Gold?

^^^So in that picture, the way I understand it....TopSecret Gold would be the top car.....

Two piece Gold would be the bottom picture....

Where does Noble gold fall.....lighter, darker...??? What wheel would that be?

Noble gold is a very light and subtle gold - almost looks silver in some light.

Yoichi's TEs are TS Gold if you want to see pics.

Yup, that's right. OffsettZ33 is right too, Noble Gold is a very light hue of gold. This is a color that is more with the Gram light line, it is available with VOLK wheels as well but it's not offered for all the wheels.
