Need opinions on new wheel color

HotRodGuy · 01-11-05, 02:54

I bent a wheel and am getting it repaired, my rims are pretty beat up so i'm gonna get them all repainted.

this is the car currently

It's a very brownish bronze.

I'm thinking of doing flat black (or maybe glossy) or a richer bronze similiar to this. What do you think of this pshop a friend did.

I am not a big fan of brown wheels but glossy black would look good.

maybe anthracite or gun metal:

don't do flat black or glossy black unless you want to look like you are rolling on steelies. stick with what you got. the photoshop looks brown. how about a light gold color? not shiny gold, but a matte gold finish, like a really light bronze?

I like the original RH bronze better.

<<<<<<<Has questionable taste in wheels.

Never been a fan of browns either. Besides, there's nothing else on the car that compliments/coordinates with the bronze (especially the lighter).

I'd usually suggest silver or black (glossy) on an anthracite car unless there was some other colored accent trim on the car to match.

dark gun metal

Get the lips polished (if you can do that with the metal your wheels are made of) and the spokes painted the body color (i.e. GSRstilez's Teg). It looks clean, classy, and uniform while still making a statement IMHO.

Any way you go your car will still look awesome. That's one sweet ride!

Yea, if you know what's going on you'll know they aren't steelies

I'm thinking of a very light gold

this is how the car use to look, so I don't mind the very dark look

HotRodGuy · 01-13-05, 03:03

I've never really been a fan of matching wheels and paint unless it's on a black car, so I'll probably stay away from gunmetal.

Gold is what i'm leaning towards, almost because it's kind of obnoxious

any luck on a new color?
