Need some color ideas

I've been rocking gray/graphite wheel covers for a couple months (bad picture below)

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8317/8...83d39c93_z.jpg

I figured that I might wanna change it up. Any suggestions? I've thought of these:

blue
white
black
keep the graphite
or other colors

Any suggestions on what might match best. I can never decide what I like best. So it's all the same to me.

Thanks, all

the graphite looks nice, but if you want to change it up it wont hurt to go black. black goes good with a lot of colors!

Don't paint them at all, especially in a high contrast color (the graphite actually does looks nice). Painted wheel covers always look funny to me, it just screams "ricer". Save up and get some alloy wheels and then start looking at colors.

^^ +1.

Leave them how they are now, and save up for alloys. You'll be glad you did.

Better yet, throw the ugly wheel covers in the trash. Then save your money for a nice set of wheels.

steelies>wheel covers
