I just cant bring myself to decide on what color....

Here is my car with the wheels I want to paint:

If anybody could also photoshop the colors on my wheels, that would be pretty awesome too!!!


Just to clarify, this is what rustic mist looks like:

Ok, I voted for Gunmetal and Rustic mist... Hell no on the others... Black looks goofy, white... just no... car color would look odd on that car.

Just my 2 cents... :grin:

You should paint the entire wheel if you're going to paint it.

Sorry, I was only planning on doing that color matching if I did the body color on the faces of the wheels

I agree it should be light color on bottom half since top half has dark color to give a nice contrast. In addition, bumper and door panels are light tan/gold color already. White or black would look odd, rustic or gun metal is best choice.

So I used my skills(equivalent to that of a child) on paint to try and give a better feel for the colors.
Gunmetal:

rustic Mist(this is darker than the actual, just imagine it to be like the picture in the opening post):

I am really starting to feel this rustic mist color. And also, it is a two in one primer and color!!

I'm a fan of gunmetal.

The wheels on my SVX are gunmetal and I am really starting to grow on the idea of that silvery dark grey and how it will stick out(in a good way)
