Favorite Wheel Color

*Favorite Wheel Color*

With the the "Favorite Paint Color" thread, and me wanting to try something different on my personal car. I figured I would try to get some input from you guys on your favorite wheel color on cars. I like the black wheels, but I think there are PLENTY of cars with black wheels and I want to try something different.

Some colors I like....

Really like this one especially with satin bronze brake calipers.
Anthracite:


Great all around color on any color vehicle and really stands out on black. Very classic sports car and would look great with red calipers.
Satin Silver:


Something a little different. Usually goes well with white or blue. Rarely seen on black, but I think it can look good at times.
Satin Bronze:


Something VERY different and you won`t see every day. I think it is a really cool looking color, but don`t know if I have the balls to sport it on my car. Probably would look really cool on brake calipers.
Anodized Red:


Thoughts on other colors?

I like the top two (with the exception of number 2`s lugnuts). I still like chrome on a black car

The top two with the second one getting the top nod. I`ve had black wheels and I had my fill with them. Silver looks much better and they look larger than they are.

Black can pull of bronze or gold. I would leave the colored wheels for the ricers.

Awesome, that`s the way I was leaning. I agree on those lugs. Really out of place and taking away from that wheel.

Some how I knew someone was going to mention chrome lol. Originally my car had chrome wheels and every vehicle I have owned prior to this one did as well.

I figured those two would be unanimous. I really like that silver also. Such a clean looking color. I might be leaning more towards the anthracite and satin bronze calipers or even satin red calipers.

A little bit lighter anthracite/gunmetal and bronze calipers.


Only bronze/black car I truly like.


I agree, the other stuff is really "out there", but I have a powder coat gun so I can change if I want. Just need to finish my oven.

I like anthracite for wheels. That`s what I made mine temporarily until I get one of them refinished.

I really like the Orange and anthracite wheels! Did you plasti-dip them?

Polish silver to gunmetal in color. Advantage of slightly darker silvers like gunmetal is that they "hide" brake dust a little more.

Really depends on the color of paint for me. For instance a British Racing green looks fantastic with Gold wheels. However any Tan or anything else that`s too close to a gold requires a color that contrasts in my opinion. I`ve never been overly fond of black wheels.

Conservative ol` me likes the first two (minus the reg lugs on #2).

For some reason I`ve recently taken a downright *dislike* to black wheels. 99% of the time I think they kill the looks of whatever they`re on. Especially black car/dark tint/black wheels... "no thanks!" though I might`ve really gone for that look when I was younger.

Guess I just don`t like "statement" wheels, preferring something that I feel compliments the overall look of the car.

But I also guess that I`m *far* more stodgy when it comes to this stuff than most people here

..A little bit lighter anthracite/gunmetal and bronze calipers...

Yeah, I like that too.

Eh, I also find myself over "statement-color" calipers. Don`t even like red ones any more. But for some reason the bronze ones don`t bother me, at least with certain paint colors.

For a black Saleen...I like #1

I feel the same way about calipers sometimes. If you have huge calipers I think the statement colors do well, but cars with smaller calipers it tends to look funny.

I`m a sucker for bronze rims, of course I may be biased:

#1 and red calipers is my choice- bright red

you can even get your calipers wrapped a custom color if u want..a guy in my car club had his brembo calipers wrapped to go with his SRTs theme and it looks awesome

but i think black chrome is best on a black car- just my opinion tho
