  I was thinking about painting my wheels this weekend, I originally painted them this bronze, but since I didn't clear coat them they lost their luster. I was wondering what wheels you guys think would look good with my blue. could anyone photoshop some different colors to help me make my decision? -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

yeah, thats what I was kinda thinking. I was also kinda considering white, but that was stylish a couple of years ago.
what does a dark antracit color look like? I have no idea what color that is. -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

I've seen some nice examples, but seen heaps of bad ones. Post a pic when you get them on

well, I wouldn't do that shade of gold. The black looks nice, but it's similar to the bronze I have now, which gives sort of a function over form look. The dull colors seem like they aren't trying hard enough, but the really flashy colors seem like they're trying too hard. Thanks again jaws for the photoshop.
