I'm probably gonna just do a quick test paint on two (one a refresher, the other with the two tone color) so I just wanted to post this up as soon as I could for some feed back......

option 1:
straight up strip the wheels and re paint them silver. I like these right now:

option 2:
I do kinda like it but I'm not all for the major flashy stuff. doesn't look as euro either like I'm trying to eventually do (mk1.5 bumper and stuff) it's supposed to have a silver lip, graphite basketweaves, and a center cap sticker.
Image


option 2:
I forgot about this one I made.... it consists of painting the WHOLE thing graphite.
Image


if you don't comment, at least vote please lol...... BUT I'd like to get some good feedback on it. like I said I THINK I still like the first or third ones but I'm fairly equal on all three. help me please [wiggle]

edit: OH for the record....... you can see the real color I wanted to use and a BETTER example of pretty much what I wanted to do for option 2 (minus the polished lip. it'd be painted instead) HERE:

I like option one the best out of those.

guys help me out....... I'm not sure if I should do bronze metallic or charcoal metallic for the wire spokes....

ok so the bronze I'd get would be this color.........

the charcoal I'd get would be this color........

Mike, I'm with the majority on this one. I think charcoal metallic with a silver lip would look best on your car. However, for something a bit different, you could probably get away with charcoal metallic and a bronze lip, given your car's color.

I dunno guys LOL...... I just did this REALLY QUICK with no prep other than taping off what I wanted to real quick (used crappy tape too......in that it doesn't stretch in the direction I want it to) just for a test.... I think the bronze looks better, however I still may try a charcoal one later.

I tried it with just the center caps and the charcoal one just make it look "dirty" oh well. here. some pics of what i did today.

bump for opinions..... I actually found some harvest gold paint for once.

Im going to try the same thing but as a color match. Then i may also try it in that charcoal all the way.

OK I have color matched one........ I personally like it better, I think I've found I'm not a fan of dark colored wheels on my car..... I like it to be right between dark and flashy...... this way it still looks MOSTLY one color, but it's not as intense as straight silver.
