Re-painting/powdercoating wheels, what color?

I need help picking out a color/colors for my wheels. Should I keep the same color scheme or paint them a certain color like gunmetal or gold. The only reason I am doing them over is because the lip is starting to peel up and I blew 2 tires. Let me know, thanks.

I like it as is. Are you looking for a different scheme for your car?

How costly would it be to repair the peeling? Peeling on just one wheel, or more?

It's on the lip of all the wheels, I could just get the lip re-done but I might as well get the whole wheel powdercoated. If I can't afford to keep it the same, I'm probably going to go with a solid gunmetal.

i always loved the white on black wheels but if you really wanted to do something different i might say a dark gunmetal finish with a brushed lip.... personally i love the car the way it is tho

I just took my car and wheels back home and I decided to get my wheels powdercoated a matte black. I've looked around on a couple of websites and I'm sold. I can always just put a white strip around the edges of the lip to give it a little offset.




Only he has a matte black face and a satin black lip, but you get the idea!

i agree, the all matte black does look sweet, if your car was black I'd have to say go w/ black rims w/ a chrome deep lip....
