GT Rims Options

[Boss-Celica]

I have Celica GT rims and they have some scratches and marks on them so I am going to wet sand them and polish it up a little. I think I might as well paint them while I'm at it, and ideas on what color I should paint them. By the way my celica is silver, so what will match with that?

*puts into todo list. Another weekend project

My celica came with the 14" hubcaps as well and i got these second hand 15"rims but they came with kerb rashes.

edit./ did you just paint it over or did you repair the kurb rashes before hand. Cant really see in those pictures

I think Dustin fixed everything first... correct?

I really didn't have too much rash, only on one of the 4 it was noticable. Some people use a dermel to smooth it out. Ask Macavely, he is currently taking some rash out of some rims he bought.

painting them make a huge difference, some people do bronze, I thought about doing the graphite, but I think it would look "dirty" if you weren't close up. If there was a sliver lip around it I would of done it but not with those wheels. I stuck with boring beautiful stock silver...

I am shameless, more pics of the wheels on my car

Try and do one with metallic flake if you're gonna do black winter rims. That'd be kinda neat if you ask me.

leave the trim/lip the silver.. and color the middle part black

i think black rims looks the best with a silver car.. and the silver rims lok the best with a black car... you know some contrast and makes them stand out
