What color should i paint my rims

Hey i know its been asked a million times probably but i searched and couldnt find anything with my combination. Ive got 04 17" g35 rims on my max. Im not sure the name of the color but its a greyish tan i think it might be called sterling mist not positive tho. i was trying to figure out what color i should paint my rims. Ill post pics in a lil while when i get my break at work. But i was thinking maybe white or purple (to stand out) If anyone can photoshop these id really appreciate it or any other color that would look good. thanks pics will be up in a few and i want everyones honest opinion.

Stay away from purple. More comments after you post your car, so we know the color.

But, most people go with black, silver, graphite. Why are you painting the rims?

If you have a white car go with white. Other than that stay with the basics black graphite or silver. You don't want to stand out too much that you look stupid and get made fun of. Just my 2 cents

black wheels [matte] usually look great on a white car.

You can paint your wheels neon pink, bright green, red, or go with purple/pink, alternating red/black.

Or a copper/gold color like the STI wheels, black, white, graphite, or you can do polished metal color which according to the guides I've read requires a TON of sanding and work.

Painting OEM wheels FTL!


Seriously, painted stock wheels is so played out. Its even worse when they put the colored stripes on the outer edge to mimick aftermarket wheels.

LOL, yours being the exception. Your color scheme and ride height pull it off nicely.


Plus, you didnt recently just jump on the "paint my stock wheels" bandwagon. Youve had yours done for quite some time now.

So, it's been over a week now and still no pic's from the OP??? WTF ask for advise and dont post pictures of your ride so we can actually give accurate suggestions!

BTW, FLAVA your car is BEAUTIFUL I can only hope to make mine look close to that some day. I did just order some brand new 17's and powerslot "slotted" rotors and EBC greenstuff pads front & rear.
