OK so I wanna change things up a bit and paint my wheels but im not sure of what color to go with. Im in between flat gunmetal, gold or a dark bronze.

Current wheel state:

GOLD:

w/ polished lip

FLAT GUNMETAL:

BRONZE:

So what do you all think?

miggypq21 · 06-09-2009, 01:26 PM

Lower it more and stick with your current setup, if you have to paint it go with gunmetal

I LUV MY S13 · 06-09-2009, 01:26 PM

Have you tried pulling collars yet?

Photoshop the gunmetal lower just to get a taste

Kouki_Love · 06-09-2009, 04:41 PM

i say gold with polished lip...
if you go lower it would look sick....

drift freaq · 06-09-2009, 05:07 PM

Stay Silver those wheels look good in that color and Silver goes with a lot of different colors easily should you paint your car different. Those wheels are classic in Silver just clean them up. Don't wreck them by painting them some color you decide you don't want or like later.

Trust me, its easy to paint or buy a wheel in a particular color just because it matches your current paint. Though when you either paint your car, or decide to sell them? No one wants to pay the extra it cost, to make them or buy them in that special color.

97nismo · 06-09-2009, 05:43 PM

gunmetal with polished lip

az_240 · 06-09-2009, 05:51 PM

I say gold with polished lip or keep them silver... Just be sure to prep them good and go to a paint store and ask them what they recommend for paint.

All the other ones just look baaaad

5t341tH · 06-09-2009, 06:43 PM

do a full polish on the wheels.

driven_ · 06-10-2009, 12:50 PM

mikefc · 06-10-2009, 12:57 PM

nismoskyz · 06-10-2009, 01:12 PM

I think the full gold looks pretty nice too.

1<3myS14 · 06-10-2009, 01:24 PM

wow seems like the gold is the crowed pleaser but i think im gonna have to go with the full flat gunmetal.lol.

johngriff · 06-10-2009, 01:34 PM

Polished lip for sure!

5t341tH · 06-10-2009, 07:22 PM

nooooo
do a full polish on the wheels.
or do a machine polish
that will look much nicer

*fliprayzin240sx* · 06-11-2009, 07:39 AM

I'd say get aluminum paint stripper, strip the paint off the rims and seal the rim the way it is.

*wafflez66* · 06-11-2009, 08:28 AM

Gunmetal w/ polished lip

Xbroke_kidX · 06-11-2009, 08:35 AM

slam it and paint them white, or highliter yellow!!

OBEEWON · 06-11-2009, 09:28 AM

Red, or full polish.

JAYTRON · 06-11-2009, 09:31 AM

Aircraft stripper and then paint them w/ some kind of flake. Like gloss black with a red/purple/insertcolorhere flake would be legit

OBEEWON · 06-12-2009, 09:58 AM

OBEEWON is right, red of full polish.

I agree.

*hOngsterr* · 06-12-2009, 10:44 AM

just give them to me T_T

nismo 240sx · 06-12-2009, 10:59 AM
