repaint them black and use clear coat on top to make it shiny rather than matte. ---

I think Bronze would look really nice with your white car. Or maybe some kinda darker Red. If your car was black I would say Neon Yellow, maybe with a little lime or something, although your 6-spoke rims might be a little fat for that colour… ---

sell them and get nicer ones. those ones are p. ugly in my opinion… and the money to get them painted properly could be spent towards good ones. ---

If you want it done proper… powder coat them bright colors and painted rims usually don’t turn out so great and I myself find it tacky unless of course they volks/rays etc but volks/rays they can get away with murder and still look sexy. ---

Powder coat them Hot Pink, or Orange, or Light Blue, idunno. They aren’t concave or seem to have a lip, so imo they won’t look so great. However it’s up to you. ---

I was thinking gloss black, I dont know its a very difficult decision, The wheels arent a good look in a neon color im sure. Its hard but thank you for all your opinions and commentary. I will update soon with the finished product ---

It should be Yashio Factory pink I think that would actually look good with the car, if you like having pink rims lol 😛 edit Ok maybe not those rims in pink, I forgot they were a 6 spoke and not 5… Makes all the difference 😛 [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-color-should-i-paint-my-wheels/128286.md?page=2)
