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?

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.

Depending on rims.
I cant say I'm a big fan of white wheels.
I've seen some nice examples, but seen
heaps of bad ones.
Post a pic when you get them on smile.gif

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.

out of all the photoshop jaw did, black and silver around the rims look the best
make the celica look even more mean and bad ass
