Im debating what color should i paint my wheels... They come with the Chrome dish, and im painting the inside...

Debating on this for few past weeks and i cant make my mind... RIght now im leaning towards white wheels / chrome dish OR Gun Metal / chrome dish....

But im still trying to figure out how would dark bronze wheels would look on silver. Maybe some one can post pics of diferent choises?

Thanks.

I'd go gun metal in the inside and keep the lip portion chrome. That was my original choice of color, but I decided to go silver instead just in case I sell the wheels in the future.

The main reason i dont wanna paint my wheels gunmetal / chome dish is cuz they willl alway look like they are dirty... Dark color on a light color car makes wheels look smaller then they are and basicly IMHO wheels just disapear....

Now im left with only 2 options - White or Light Bronze.....

neither white nor bronze/gold look good on a silver car in my opinion
i thing bronze/gold only looks good on a black car, and white on maybe a white car.

i would go with a gunmetal or maybe a black, but whatever you do im sure it will look great, your work allways looks great

just my 2 cents (btw gunmetal is overtaking the poll )

doGGy, I have the same concern, would like to have some specific wheels on my silver beauty.

I have decided to go for titanium / black colour.

Check this famous C-One. I think the white ones seem too funny and any other color than black does not match. Silver is too usual

Btw - black on Silver or any LIGHT color - is like driving your car without hubcaps (while car is moving )

Actually - Gunmetal + red line on the wheels = Time attack wheels, and they are popular at this time... Hmmmm

Hard decidions...

Btw - Dan - on the Silver jetta with these "bronze" wheels - they are not bronze - they are like Yellow

I was refering to the color like this:

If the lip is chrome or polished I think black looks the best with silver.

I agree with 97lestyousay, the silver lip attracts your eyes to the wheels, unlike the darker colors

Gold with a polished lip would look good. If not that black with a polished lip.
