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?

 

and example of what green i mean





and red wheels




we all know what other colors look like

 

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

 

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

 

I clicked Gold =O]

 

i saw that after i posted

 

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...

 

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

 

Gold FTW!

 

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!

 

white, go with gold.

 

gold

 

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?

 

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

 

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

 

+1

 

 

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

 

the gold looks super classic to me

 

+100000000000



oh and before


wheels $100
duplicolor paint (3 cans graphite 1 can clear) $25
Slightly used Toyo Proxes T1-S's in just the right size $150
mounting+balancing $45
= MASSIVE grip and amazing looks

 

lmfao, the freakin sierra mist just chillin on the side.

 

I am a gold man myself ^ A++++

 

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

 

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