haha.
ok you paint yours purple and ill consider pink.



Re: Painting stock wheels, what color?
I'm not a fan of solid color wheels, unless it's grey/silver. I think solid colors need a contrast like a polished lip, or an accent pinstripe. Most look like you goobered a color on your stock wheels. Replace the pink with black and keep the polished lip like in the picture and you got a winner.

hmm so many options, I wish i had the time to polish the lips, but then again f that, these are winter wheels.
I really need to get some bitchin wheels.

Re: Painting stock wheels, what color?
got these bastards all stripped down, ready for paint this weekend. I sanded two wheels and finally got sick of that and went to my dads shop and had a date with a media blaster.
will post a pic of the final product.

It's not how fast you go. It's how well you go fast.
