Default Need opinions on color

While I dont have the money to go all out on insane rims at the moment, i figured i might as well make the ones i have look better since they look like hell. I dont want to stick with silver or black so i'm having a hard time determining what color to paint them since its a silver car. Opinions?

I agree you should check out trewyn's wheels. You might like what he did. Black, silver, or maybe gunmetal might be good with your silver car.

Good luck

Why not just get something to clean them?

They cant be cleaned because the thick sealer/clearcoat they put on the wheels is flaking off and started to rust the aluminum. The pic i provided is one of the nicer rims. The others are horrid looking and really detracts from the rest of the car. They have to be painted.

If you want a darker color, but not black, I would say a navy or some sort of blue..otherwise the possibilities are probably pretty endless with lighter colors, red, green, many will go with silver
