Opinions on wheel color

want my stock wheels powder coated as they have some scratches and scuffs on them from the previous owner. Originally I wanted to go with black and it’ll hide alot of brakedust and dirt but on second thought, I figured that black wheels on an all black car would look to “dull” as there wouldn’t be anything to break the color up a little.

what do you think of White? I’m having trouble picturing it on the car.

anyone up for photoshopping some different colors on them?

thanks

white wheels look pretty ricey.

what about bronze or gunmetal?

even gold.

hmmmmmmm… Pink anyone?

leave them alone and save for better rims and tires and use these for winter.

White would be terribly tackey. Definite “no” to that color.

Black could be great but like you said, all-black wheels on a black car might make it look like a big black blob. I guess it depends on the car, on some it looks awesome, but on others it looks weird.

As suggested, you may want to consider bronze.

Def Gunmetal

get your rims warrantied. i got mine warrantied for the finish flaking off like yours is.

dude do something totally original that nobody else in wny has, black or gunmetal with a polished lip… :bloated:

not sure how bronze would look with that style wheel… I’ll try photoshopping it (although I’m not great at it). I agree that white wheels do look bad sometimes, but figured on an otherwise all black car, they might not look too bad.

maybe gunmetal wouldn’t look bad… still dark, but will also contrast with the paint

i like those… but thats me…

yeah, those are nice looking, although new wheels arent in my budget yet… figured I’d just do something different with the stock wheels for now

Red rims with white sidewalls and chrome lug nuts.

… maybe a chopped roof too :shrug:

here is white

haha thats what i get for not reading the thread and assuming you were buying wheels… i suck at photoshop or i’d do a few colors up for you…

gunmetal

black chrome

black chrome is killer, although a little pricey I bet
here are just black wheels (again, my PS skillz suck at best)
