Default What color should i paint my wheels?

Title says it, I am going to be painting my wheels and i was thinking about doing white as i <3 white wheels. However, a little part of me wants to do something different. So i wanna see what people think about it. I am going to be keeping my chrome lip so keep that in mind.

Anddddd GO!

I'd definitely say white! I think white looks sexy with that color..but gold also looks good! gold goes good with everything but I feel like too many people have gold now..

p.s. in that second picture is that dirt on your bumper, or is it chipped to hell?

as for paint, I'm pretty sure I remember people using Dupicolor for their wheels. However, I may be wrong.

use plasti-dip, that way you can just peel it off if you don't like the color.

Paint is only to get me through the summer and to make sure i like the color choice. They will be getting powder coated this winter. HOWEVER i want to keep my chrome lip, and im not sure if they can powder coat the faces and not the lip.

Maybe you should color match the wheels to the car.? A lot of time its too much of one color but it may look good with those rims. On a dif note, yu should also paint them calipers. There lookin a bit worn.

Painting the calipers is coming. No worries. I actually might do them body blue. I need to find the paint first though.

And Voltage, you got me there! lol
