Wheel Color.

ZeeingAround · 06-28-2011, 09:06 PM

Just got these back from the sand blaster.

I was going to paint them Black again, like they were before. The black had chips and flakes in the paint from not being properly prepared. I knew that before I bought them, so I didn't care/ They're Nismo wheels!
So, now my mind is leaning toward a metal flake silver color.
Any wheels out there that color? I saw a Chrysler silver years ago that made me think of this for the wheels, but I cannot recall the year or make of the car. Old age is getting the better of my brain cells.

Before:

What are your thoughts on that color or another? No, there will be no Orange. Mike has taken that color.

Jet anthrocite. There is a wheel thread on here with that color. I think it would look badass.

Not a fan of OEM wheels painted any color except black.

You could go matte black if you want to do something different.

I woulda stuck with gloss black since their stockers....white after market rims can look good on black though.

daisuke149 · 06-29-2011, 09:35 AM

Should do a mix of Black and Gold. And Throw a Steelers Decal on there too.

docaam · 06-29-2011, 10:01 AM

dark blue?

DjSquall · 06-29-2011, 10:59 AM

Bright neon pink should do the trick.

kenchan · 06-29-2011, 11:12 AM

the gloss black looks good, i'd paint that center caps though....!!!

personally i wouldve went with matte-black or matte-gunmetal/graphite.
