I plan to redo my shadow chrome DTMs in a dark bronze\gold at some stage.

On a red car you cant go wrong with

- White
- Black
- Silver
- Shadow Chrome
- Bronze \ Gold

As for fluro, yuck.

Celicas seem to suit white OZ 5spoke alloys so white would be my pick too

White.
Anything fluro is a sing of bad taste.

Stick to the classic colours, white,silver,gunmetal,bronze or black. And on red car best suited would be white, silver and black (maybe gun metal depending on shade and shape).

My Torneo with powdercoated teal green Enkei RPM2. Not quite fluoro but eyecatching nonetheless, and I am stoked with the result.

I think though, on a red car not many colours look so good... I'd stay safe and stick with white in your position. Or polish the hell out of them.

contacted a few places they quoted me about $60-70 per rim for sandblasting and powdercoating, seem right for what people usually pay?

and they have a range of white
