What do you mean turning gold? Is there a gold powder on them? What offset are your rims? Technically, you shouldn't be having a problem with those rims unless you bought them with the wrong offset. With the rim on the car, do you notice it rubbing or hitting anything? Is it specific to only one side, or on both sides in the front.
FWIW, the stock calipers came with a goldish tint from factory, I believe they were nickel plated or something of that nature. I'll see if i can get a pic for you.

</TD></TR></TABLE> Mine are Goldish too but i believe like PrinceAli132 said it's cause they're factory, maybe you just never noticed. N I have the black ROTA group n's w/ red stripe... pry down the road i'm gonna just paint the calipers and Black it out

If the calipers aren't making contact with the wheels, you're fine.
