Painting wheels

Post by scotty_ish »

Hey guys!
I'm looking at maybe painting my wheels as some of the paint is flaking and Im too poor to buy a new set (which the car really needs lol).
Wondering what colour suggestions you guys have for me? Photoshops etc are very welcome/appreciated.

heres the best pic of the car & wheels that I have atm

Cheers guys!

im a massive fan of gun metal

why really unsure, just suits alot of wheels and cars

thats my vote, plan and simple as it may be, but meh

Powder-coated dark grey (gun metal)/matte black - any of those would look really great IMO ;)

bronze like the te37s is a very nice colour when done right

white car on dark wheels is choice, but to dark and it looks rangi

but hows this
theres an evo something or rather ( think 6 ) in hamilton with 5 spoke wheels ( one peacie ) the wheels have had there centres painted black with polished lips

looks rather good...........to a point

Yeah I quite like the black wheel, polished lip look. Was thinking it might be cool to try a different spin on it and do a gunmetal grey with coloured lip (was thinking blue or red)
