Default I need opinions about my wheels :)

Im thinking about having my wheels recoated and im having a tough time figuring out a color. i want something real smooth and i cant really pick one color out,

i thought about being boring and just painting them gloss black, then i thought about flat black, then i thought about gold (but have them either gold chromed or anodized gold gold paint just wont do these wheels justice imo) or having them paint matched to the car.

jon if you could photoshop them different colors for me that would be sweet









i hope some of these can help.

My vote is for Gold or Bronze FTW... but then again, I'm kinda biased since I have a FM too...

Color-match?

Color-matched rims on a FM reminds me of the hubcaps that came with my Spec... ewww....

You're right about the Bronze... go with the Gold, that way even if they got dirty, they'd look Bronze

Flat black, IMO. Whatever you do, those wheels will still look damn good.
