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 -steve ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1877&stc=1&d=1176395921](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1877&stc=1&d=1176395921) ---

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. ---

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 ---

black chrome is killer, although a little pricey I bet here are just black wheels (again, my PS skillz suck at best) ![http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1886&stc=1&d=1176742329](http://www.nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1886&stc=1&d=1176742329) ---
