What color should I repaint these?
 
I am going to be repainting these wheels which i just bought..... they are going on my white FC. I have pondered a few different ideas but I can't make up my mind. Some might call this rice, but i am leaning towards a Kelly Green for the spokes or Red... but at the same time, white or gold spokes would look good. what does everyone else think?

Green wheels on your white FC makes me want to puke...

willub and company 11-14-07 09:12 PM

well what color would you like? I didn't ask what color you would NOT like..

TRISPEEDFD3S 11-14-07 09:26 PM

I clicked Gold =O]

willub and company 11-14-07 09:32 PM

i saw that after i posted :)

TRISPEEDFD3S 11-14-07 09:47 PM

I personally feel on a white car, you have a good amount of choices...black, gun metal, a dark hyper or light hyper, silver, gold, light bronze, dark bronze, but please stay away frpm anything bright of color. That does not include chrome though, chrome would look nice also...

willub and company 11-14-07 09:52 PM

i really don't want to go with a black or gunmetal just because it has been done over and over and over again.

TRISPEEDFD3S 11-14-07 09:55 PM

Gold FTW!

kenn_chan 11-14-07 09:56 PM

gunmetal gray

but in all reality, do what you want, you are the person who will be driving it, and as a result as long as you are happy, who cares what anybody else thinks (unless they are extremely shallow with low self esteme)

that super silver the SSR SP1 comes in, not gray not silver but uh, different and NICE!

or maybe a deep deep blue would be cool, with a little bit of metal flake and tons of clearcoat.

dont do green or red. ugh. overkill to be different.

you could do gold on one side of the car and polished on the other side.... DOPE!

CarzArKoo1 11-15-07 05:01 PM

white, go with gold. :)

Josh18_2k 11-15-07 05:41 PM

gold

willub and company 11-16-07 04:46 PM

ok, well now for a new question... what paint should i use? I want to do a quality job that will last so what paint do people use/prefer for there wheels?

Oun 11-16-07 05:09 PM

powder coating would be better, but you have to remove the tires.

willub and company 11-16-07 08:33 PM

luckily they are 3 piece wheels :) so disassembling them won't be a problem.

duplicolor wheel paint.
clean them very well and with alcohol.
paint them in several light coats.
that paint is good stuff.

GregsFC3S 11-18-07 12:31 AM

That pic makes me vote gold- no question.
Gold w/polished lip on a white FC= high drool factor.

puhpaper 11-18-07 01:40 PM

if you paint your wheels red, you'll just look like every other honda tuner who has red wheels and a polished lip.
