Well my last paint job of silver spray paint did not last long. So I'm going to take some time that I have off of work to repaint my rims. I was thinking a gun-metal gray with some sort of blue. Maybe on the outer edge or inside the "pockets." Lemme know what you think!

I'm kind of a purist when it comes to wheels, the cleaner the better. I'm a pretty big fan of Silver on red (although I am a bit biased :D) but gold could look good too.

IMO it looks ghetto when people get fancy with paint on wheels, especially on OEM wheels.

I am gonna agree with mycargoesvroom. Stick with silver.

Gold is always an option with Subaru's. I just dont think that gold would be the best for that style rim.

Well i'm going to go a shade or two darker than what is on the car.

That'll look good... I think gunmetal would be too dark but a darker (richer) silver should be great

Yeah, darker silver. Are you going to lower the car any? The wheels will really "pop" when you do.

REALLY WANT TO, but don't have the money or time! I would put on KYB GR2 struts and H&R springs. But I need to pay off a credit card first, and bank some money. Going to have a decrease in income with my mom going into surgery!

I say Charcoal it always looks good on burgundy, but gold (maybe powdercoated) would look good
