Wheel color on Titanium Grey Metallic FD?
Ok, so I've settled on getting my current FD project painted Titanium Grey Metallic ("Spirit R Grey" i believe...) and I'm wondering what color should I choose for my wheels? I have RE-A AW7s I plan to put on the car. They will be sent off soon to be turned into 18x10s with a step lip so there will be that shiny high polished aspect to the lips... but what colors look best for the face?

Brushed silver with a polished lip is what I'd do. :)
Either that or Takata Green with a giant Monster sticker on one side and a huge DC sticker on the other. :lol: jk jk |
I think a good gray would offer a nice combo... similar in the neutral scale for being easy on the eyes, but still contrasting

Car colour is amazing. I would go with a darker shade of the same colour of the car. Enough to contrast, but not too much as to appear to be black. Polished lip maybe, but I'd keep the number of colours to a minimum, so you already have black "trim", so darker grey plus car colour, plus black trim is 3, I don't know about adding a polished lip. It would be the only element with that colour.
Of course, my opinion and not my car. |
i'm appreciating all the ideas... and there will be a polich lip on the wheels because i'm going to be running RE-A AW7s, getting them rebarrelled into 18x10s with a step lip. And WheelFlip offers powder coating so that's why i'm trying to settle on a color for them...
and everyone's suggestions so far are grey/silver wheels... i'm liking all the input! |

Be carefull with the colour code...find the titanium grey of the 2002 RX7 but their is also the titanium grey of the 2002 RX8 which is different.... |

Very nice rx7. Love that color.
