Looking for Opinions! Wheel Color

[wa04compg]

Looking for some opinions...looking to paint or powdercoat my wheels...They are Borbet Type FS 18x7.5...I am thinking about painting them gunmetal...I like gloss black but I think that is a bit to much black with tires...they are currently a polished silver color...please express opinions negative or positive...also gloss black SPO grills are being installed soon

[wa04compg]

This is how they would look flat black

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

hyper black

[wa04compg]

hyper black

Would I be able find that in paint or would it have to be powdercoat?

[Bio248]

Not black.

Well since you asked. IMHO they look fine now, that said if you are dead set of murdering them consider this. Go for a glossy black but leave a “polished silver” ring on the outer edge of the rim. Again IMO completely blacked out (or gun metal) rims hardly ever fit with the rest of the car, leaving that small ring does wonders for aesthetics.

Im not set on it otherwise I would have done it already...the wheels are good shape I am just bored of them...I am not to fond of the black unless its gloss and the gunmetal would have to be very gloss

Not black.

no black period? Gunmetal?

i like them how they are if not black maybe a dark gray color, and then paint the grills and lower valance to match

[wa04compg]

My Goal is to get a SE lip paint it to match the car

I like those wheels the way they are as well. If I were to paint them tho I think I would go with a gunmetal metallic.

[wa04compg]

yeah I deff don't want a boring gunmetal...maybe I will just leave them alone...I like them just am getting bored and I like gunmetal wheels

[Bio248]

i really dont think they'd look any better in any different color. i think your best bet is to leave them how they are now.

or buy new wheels if you want a change. once you paint a set of wheels, value on them for resale drops immensely.

Pardon the crappy paintshop job. You could do the inner edge body color. Itd prolly look pretty cool with the wheels spinning, too.

[wa04compg]

The more I look at them and now with the SPO grills I think I will just leave them alone

[wa04compg]

Well I have the SPO grills installed and there is alot of black on my car...What do you guys think of my wheels being black here is a pic I found

[boosting98]

Gunmetal if u must change the color.

[blakgtp]

if u did just the spokes black and everthing else orange i think that would look pretty tight

[TheNoob23]
