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!
Scotty

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)
