Wheel Colors

[Ars Gladius]

Thinking of having the wheel re-finished this winter. Nothing crazy. I am curious what you guys think. The pics are mock ups only, see note below.

I will be doing Forever Black on the trim, but have included the stock blue with the same wheel colors for comparison.

Also, thinking of painting the calipers / caliper holders: red, black or silver...?


Note: Pics are of TomClick's XC, not mine. I don't have any clear pics of mine at the moment as it it quite perma-dirty from the lovely northern winter and my winter tires are on the car.


Original Wheels:




Light Gunmetal/Grey:




Medium Gunmetal/Grey:




Rally White (Just Because):

I have white silver pearl.
Thought I'd post some pics seems as we have the same paint colour.
My paint looks lighter than your pics due to the harsh sunshine we have here in Australia.

Nice idea. If you are taking votes, I vote for the light gunmetal/gray with black trim.

Where are you getting them re-finished? Will they be powder coated?

If you are tabulating preferences, I vote for original finish. By the way, where did your friend get that tail pipe tip? It looks great!

Your car, your choice
It depends on the look you want
I refinished my Perfos in a medium titanium and it completely changed the look of my 99.

Tail pipe is from EuroSport Tuning here in Canada.

I tried black, but it was much to heavy looking for the car / not quite right for the rims.

Mmmm, yes that is sweet, and pretty much want I am aiming for.

Original or white. The grey make it look like the wheels need a wash to get rid of brake dust IMHO

Also, it is just me that thinks in the first two pictures, just changing the bumper colour from blue to black makes the car look bigger and higher off the ground?
Looks like I'm buying some forever black for my brown bumpers this summer 'cos that looks really nice
