Have you considered a two tone on them - can't really check it out myself as I have no skills when it comes to photoshop - could try in mspaint tho - anyway, I reckon you'd get a bleeding nice looking mag with a Polished face and black/gunmetal rest.

I've always been a fan of white wheels on black cars, silver is to common but the gold looks alright but would have to have the right mag to pull it off... was bronze an option>?

Too many other variables IMO.

A good colour on a shit looking wheel will still look like crap.

A wheel in a certain colour/combo will look crap on the wrong car.

etc etc.


I've heard some colour/paint combos that people are using, and thought "Urgh, disgusting!" But then it ends up looking awesome when you see it in person. And vice versa.

Honestly, red wheels are 100% ftw, my set of Work Equips is getting the red treatment, I have long lusted after a set of mean red centred wheels!

Actually, green ones can also look HAWT.

yeah i'd be happy with bronze 8)

infact i'd just be happy for wheels that are as easy to clean as yours.... remember white will show the dirt / brake dust up the quickest. My rims have been brake dust coloured for a good year now :oops:
