Paint Color Help!
 
Hey guys,

Have had the Work Vs-xx wheels for a little over a month now and while I do like the gold, it's just not my thing. I've seen quite a few custom paint jobs on the interior and before I pull the trigger wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations? Thinking within the week they will be painted! Thanks so much!:tup:

What I'm thinking of going to: (just the interior of the wheel, the lip will still be polished. Thinking it'll look good up against carbon fiber)

is dat like a hyper black color? pretty cool.

with those dressup wheels, id even suggest lowering your ride and getting some spacers to tighten it up perfectly.

Have you thought about going with the same dark grey color of your lower pieces or the same as the OEM wheels? I am some what in the same boat as I am looking at new wheels for my 16 white nismo. Just don't know what color to go with. I'm sure what ever color you go with will look good!! :tup:

Ya sort of. I saw them at an event and thought they look gorgeous! It's like a black/chrome iridescent color.

I'm still going to be going fast with the wheels so I don't want to get too tight. I know what you mean though and love the way the clean tire-fender look is but I need to think about production mostly. Going to pair these wheels with some r888s and rip some tires ;) Suspension comes next and that'll help with the gap!

I have actually! I liked the OEM color too. Just such a tough choice. Going to have to talk to the paint guy I think and pick his brain over some picks. There is also this:

dang! :icon17: how much do those wheels weight though? might be better running S04's for dressup and get some one piece lightweight wheels for your competition compounds?

actually looking at track wheels now! Thinking enkei nt03s ;) Or gramlight 57Dr. Can't decide but I think the enkei will be much cheaper.

guys. These are not my track wheels. I'm purchasing some for those. LOL I'm still going to be driving fast in them somewhat, say on an abandon road or out in the middle of nowhere, but I have one piece track wheels coming. So I suppose these are for somewhat show, but I'm not interested in changing up the stance of the vehicle just yet. Maybe soon but it'll all be suspension and to aid the performance of the car, not just looks or concern with closing the gap. Maybe it's bc I'm and old man (30) but I cringe at cambered shots ;) I can only imagine adding spacers can't be good for overall performance if I'm running through the canyons?

For now, I just need to figure out color. I talked to the paint guy and the first wheels I posted won't work. It's not a paint, it's some sort of dip or something, Idk. So I'm back to square 1. :/
