Need Opinions on Wheel Colour?

Post by Road_Rebel »

I had a slight accident in the mass snow fall a month back which involved a curb :(

Any way... I am getting the wheel repaired, refurbished and resprayed but what colour is the question, not many colours go with dark green

Im thinking a dark metallic red, what do you lot think?

Regards,
Daniel

You don't think it will look odd against the polished lip?

If they were mine I'd paint the spokes and rims black and fit new titanium bolts.

I think the red on green combo is an aquired taste (I may be biased though)

If the red was a little darker i think it wouldn't be so much of a love/hate case.

I.... Prefer the white to anything that has been suggested. There's something not right about painting Rays in a different colour.

Just my opinion though, crack on. :)

What about smoked chrome so the middle is darker with a shade of chrome so it goes well with the lip but not to in your face.

If you want to see what it looks like wheeler dealers used it last week on the DB7 looked very good.
