In spring should I paint the rims gun metal or lime green?

I vote "Gun Metal" but would also suggest leaving them alone.

 

Please don't do lime - but really if you like it Oh well.

 

Lime, surprisingly enough, has been done, and looked horrible IMO. Although, I think the wheels done in gunmetal look like they are simply dirty or full of brake dust. I am about to powdercoat my winter wheels black, I hope it looks good....

 

what ever floats your boat !!!! With the side colors seems like U dont care what people think any way !!! So go for it !!!!!!

 

And what is wrong with beating to different drum just wanted to find out what members think. I didn't think that was a negative thing.

 

While it's not my style, I understand to look you're going for and voted lime green.

 

I like to do things that others havn't done, I would like to know what others have done. And will always have an open mind that is how you learn.

 

I too have sen pictures of both on here and do feel the gunmetal makes them look dirty, the lime was on a car that was way over the top, too much so for me. I did vote for lime, but I am thinking the wheels might look good with lime accents; in the spokes or around the edges, which would go well with your graphics.

 

leave them be.

 

Lime them up! Maybe not the whole rim. That might be too much but maybe just the inside of the rims and just leave the spokes silver with the little indent in the spokes green also. like this

 

I would suggest not doing this or at-least do it in a different color or something like Beaner suggested, But in the end this is your decision.

 

I vote to leave them alone

 

Here's what it would look like with lime green wheels


And here is what it would look like with just the lip painted and leaving the spokes silver

 

What if you painted the entire inside of the wheel the wildest lime green you can find, and keep the faces stock. I think it would get the point across, accentuate the caliper color, and leave it looking a little toned down for when you cruise next to a cop going 5 over and he is deciding whether or not to pull you over, with lime wheels, you are getting pulled over

 

Just giving you a hard time John. Figured it worked since it was green too.

 

LOL I will take no offense because neither of your photoshops show the inside of the wheel as green, both have green on the face though

I was talking about ONLY the inside being green and the face being completely stock, including the windows between the spokes remaining silver. I think this would be as understated as a lime green wheel ever could be LMAO

 

I saw a ricer done with wheels like this and you have to use your imagination what these look like when they are spinning at 60mph.
You can do whatever you like, its your choice but people will think that the only taste you have is in your mouth.
Personally I think that with what you have done already why not ruin it completely, I guess you are about 16 to 18 years old and fondly remember your Hot Wheels.

 

I would take the stock wheels and make them black, and then do the indents in lime green. With your calipers that would work.

 

green !! looks good on this one maby 2 tone ya rims
