New wheels, what color?!

[08BlackWRX]

I just purchased some used O.Z. Superleggera rims, they are in pretty good condition, but they need a little work......i am going to either paint/ powdercoat them.....i was thinking either black, gold, silver or gunmetalish grey.....let me know what you guys think....btw here is a pic of my wrx and the rims for reference....i was thinking gold, cause i dont want to be totally blacked out and not really being able to see the dark rims on the dark car....

thx,
Justin

I agree, gold would be best if you don't really want too many dark colors going on :up: I was gonna say bronze but thats still kinda dark...

Yea, he got his set for a steal, definately a good buy. I vote Black, gold is a bit over done.

Im getting one rim fixed tomorrow and then straight to powdercoating, should have them mounted in about a week....ill keep ya guys updated....
btw, should i get black or chrome lugs?
-Justin

[Joe]

Black definately!! Chrome would look out of place.

[shtbxr22]

orange +1

[Boostinbildo]

I think you chose a great color! I think it will look great on your car.

I also think its ridiculous when people say certain color wheels are overdone, because every color there is has been used hundreds of times...

[Subygirl8330]

I say black with a touch of gold flake :D

that would look sweet.


i was going to say bronze

[itsmy04wrx]

Great color choice :up: Definitely go with black lugs.

[Subygirl8330]

black lugs!

[08BlackWRX]

well got them back today.........and OMFG they look great! cant wait to get them mounted later today, ill have some on car pics as soon as i get them done! Pics dont do them justice, they look much darker in person.....Thanks again Zack (from CTSUBIE)!

nice. that is exactly what I was going to reply..except my word was "satin" black, it looks like photo- but simply a light transparent black using the original wheel color as part of it. It would take seconds to do the job...then thetwo part urethane has some original wheel to grab.
I am even going to do this for an "ancient" subaru...

[08BlackWRX]

Couple new pics...

The wheels look great man!!

I'm definitely going to him if i want to powder coat some wheels. Some of the pics of Zack's work and the colors he can do are amazing :cool:

LoL I know... my pink wheels are obnoxious... but I wuv dem... Idk, I was never a huge fan of gold anything, let alone wheels. Big fan of black on black tho :) And Gunmetal is my fave
