Painting my wheels

So I'm debating how I want to paint my equips. Here is how they look now.



So this is turning into my drift missile and I'm putting on my BN Sports kit next weekend. I'm gonna be painting my wheels and want something different. I really think I'm gonna paint my centers Tiffany Blue, so they'd look something like this...



And I really like how that looks, but was just messin around in photoshop and thought this looked alright. What do you guys think? I'm still 85% sure I wanna just paint the centers T.B.

A vinyl wouldn't show up reflective tho, I was thinkin anodized. But we'll see, I still have time to think about it. I got some other things I need to do first. I really like the Tiffany Blue tho, and am planning on painting my roll cage/bash bar tiffany blue, once I get it done.

Also, it's cadillac pearl. As seen on the escalades and sts's.

Sad face......

Hey it's your car though, whatever makes you happy.. I really liked your car as it was. (no bodykit), and honestly if the wheels were silver it would be about perfect. What set your car apart is it wasnt covered with soon to be damaged fiberglass, and drift fanboy colored parts..

*In my opinion* That black center with blue lip looks awful. On the street rolling at first glance I would just assume they are some kinda cheap wheel, because who with $2 would paint a work wheel like that.. once again, just my opinion.

I've never seen white equips before. Looks good. I'd have to wait until I repainted my car. Cuz otherwise white wheels look awful with my pearl.... as seen here.



Which is why I did this sunday night

(man, my carpet is dirty where i store my wheels lol)
