I played with some combinations in photoshop before I chose my paint scheme. I liked the shiny rim the best, so I went with that (though I might have left less bare if I knew how they looked now).

(I used an image from these boards as a starting point since the car is almost identical. I don't remember whose car this is.)

I did the same thing with mine- in graphite.
I have the TII wheels. I left the lip silver, I actually polished it.

Try polishing the centercap. That's what I did. If you sand it and polish it, the MAZDA lettering still stays black (or whatever colour you want- mine are red) since it's recessed. It really adds a nice touch!!

Nice work! They look like old school Enkei mesh rims which look great on an RX-7, in my opinion.

very nice. i mean sure people are going to tell you it looks ugly, but hell it's a 15 inch STOCK mazda rim. their ugly to begin with. i do like it. especially with that polished lip. but like i said before i probably would have gone with a gunmetal/DARK silver color. but good job otherwise

"Yup. my next project. i'm too broke to BUY rims. so i'll do this as a change.."
