Should I get my wheels painted?

You tell me.
Do you prefer this:


or this:


Thanks for your opinions

All the same color looks tacky. Silver looks decent, simi-polished would look pretty sharp. I'm a fan of black wheels.... however I think it would be too dark for your ride.

[Mossman]

I think all green would look bad, but something about that polished lip does it for me... They're 2 pieces so keeping the lip in beautiful shiny order and painting the insides would be pretty easy. I dunno, I'll probably leave em as is, toss my SS exhaust on tomorrow and go intake shopping this weekend I think it's a nice option to have down the road and it makes the car stand out a bit more, but when cleaned up these wheels are too nice to go painting in my opinion

I voted silver, but i'm with officergoat.
I think black with the poolished lip would look sweet.

I'd also like to see "cheese colored" ?

If the color of the car was different it would look cool. Matching your wheels to your car color is hot. I have a picture I took of a green Ferrari with matching wheels. It's NICE.

This may bring up a pic that is bad for AO. I'm having some issues with image dump. It should, if all things go to plan, bring up a Ferrari.

Yea Assassn...but that's a ferrari

What'd you mean it'd look better if the car was a different color green? You think that my shade of green isn't compatible with color matched wheel centers?

I say black with polished rim. Or even a charcoal gray with polished rim.

I personally think sense you are going for the rally race look (I would say rice look, but its not a honda ) I would go with white wheels, I think they look pretty sharp, I also think you could get away with them and not be called a ricer. Just don't go super body kit or a spoiler thats bigger then the car

Are you actually going to have these painted? Or are they going to be anodized or powdercoated?

Powdercoating IS painting. You just paint with a dry paint, not a wet one.

[PyRo]

Make em black

[Mossman]

I'm considering black.

White? ummm NO!.

I dont know how paint would hold up. See I can seperate the spoke portion from my wheel and I bet they could paint it and bake it on and it'd be pretty tough. I doubt they could make powdercoating match since matching paint perfectly even with the code is damn near impossible.

Spongebob what makes you think I'm going for either a rally or a rice look. First of all I couldn't imagine 2 more different looks...rally and rice. Functionality vs. form (bad...tasteless form).

I don't think dropping a quick car on quality gas shocks and H&R springs and putting on nice, lightweight wheels with stiff low profile tires qualifies as rice, and its certainly not "rally race".

Whatever

[PyRo]

Powercoat black, it should hold up. It shouldn't be expensive to do. If you have an old oven, a compressor, and a powdercoat gun you could probably do it yourself.
Or atleast, I think thats what you need to powdercoat

If you want my honest to god opinion about the color of your car... I don't like it at all. That's whay its your car and not mine. Personnally I don't think your green goes good with wheels.
