ok so i like the stock rims on my car, but im not too much a fan of the green color of the car because to me its just not a good color for tint and rims. That bein said im gettin sick of lookin at my scratched stock colored ones and decide i want to paint them, i just don't know what color would look best. I'm thinking im either gonna go with satin black or the graphite color from duplicolor, more towards the graphite but i would like some input from some other guys.

My name is TGX4776 and I approve this message.

this thread needs a poll. I personally prefer the stock silver for that color but gold would look good too.

These are quick and dirty, but they give you an idea. It's unfortunate that Okin's link has so many broken images...

Not my best gold, but I was rushing:

Besides Silver, I can't think of a color that looks good on Green besides gold. Just my .02

Check this link. It shows a before and after of an alloy wheel done in bronze. Looks smart and classy

There is someone in the Scranton area selling a set of 05 up lgt wheels in orange (LVSE). It'd be different for sure!
