I've decided that I want to paint my wheels, using the Dupli-Color wheel coatings. It's not that I don't really like them, I just want a different look and can't afford new wheels. I can't decide what color I want. Help me decide! I'm leaning towards gunmetal or black. I'm also going to paint my calipers red at the same time I do the wheels.

How they are now:

Hmmm, I didn't try it in bronze. I guess I'll give that a go too and see how it turns out.

Here's the closest I could get to bronze, I don't think I like it:

Gunmetal......or black. I would go for gunmetal if it was me. And it'll look really nice with the color that your car is.
Merry hoho underdog........what you get me????? :alc:
You really are right down the street huh... Ive been by those duplexes b4 for something. That is your place, right?

i think gunmetal looks too close to the color of the car itself. now black, that really looks like its in the right place! i say black, since it seems to be the best to match.

Actually, that house you see is my neighbors. We have the really tall skinny house next to it. I park there because our driveway is small and the way the cul-de-sac is shaped.

I think it will be awhile before I paint them, it says it has to be between 59 and 80 degrees outside and can't be humid. HA! Will prolly have to wait till spring.

how they look now matches your car.

Yep....prolly spring!! I'm going to save up and have mine powder coated next winter.
Your wheels will look good black, think about bronze too though. That would be nice also.

yeah, that's why I want to repaint them.

I'd powdercoat them, except I dont have the money, plus the lip on them is curbed to hell on 3, and curbed kinda bad on the 4th one. Curse people who live in seattle and can't park!

go white or how you have them already, the darker colors make it look like they are just really really dirty

I like the white or black. You're pretty good with that chop shop. Not sure on what coil you want to get with that X-mas money, but I don't think there isn't much difference in them.

I'd do the white from the way things look chopped. Normally I'd do gunmetal, but then I also like the way they look already; I guess you just want a change though.
I'm with BustedBlue and 88accordalltheway .. lighter is better and chrome is best!
