Colour For Rims

[keeffe88]

Gday all,
About to paint my sunraysias for my series 3 before I put a brand new set of rubber on them. At a crossroads as to what colour to paint them though. Options are:
White
Black
Bright Green (colour of the car)

Im a bit of a fan of any of them, thought I might pick your brains for your thoughts.

Cheers,
Josh

I really don't think white rims look very good on dark cars.

Depends on what your really after look wise..

Personally I would go black, as I feel black is far more subtle, but in the same instance could look menacing

White might look ok if the car is light although I think white look very tatty very quickly with a few knocks and scrapes...

The same green may look a little odd, like your just tight and were using up the left overs in the can :p

Do you have photoshop put a pic of your car on it and try the three colours out see which ones you think look good..

Black rims look flaming ugly! I'd never have 'em.

Black look crap!

Never thought of galvanising rims but that's a good idea. Otherwise these ones above would look good.
What are those rims though Sclarke?

[DaveS3]

Black.

I had black sunnys on a mustard S3 and it looked sweet.

But then again I hate white rims ;) (Except of defenders)

This is what it looks like at the moment:

Im thinking black rims though. I originally wasnt a fan of black, particularly on white cars. But with a new set of 31 Mudders i think black would look pretty sweet on this.

Rims look fine, think you should be asking what colour to paint the car.:p

Cheers

[streaky]

Metalic Silver and a few layers of clear coat would look great against that Pee/Pea green.

[keeffe88]

Rims do need a clean up when you look at them closely, surface rust starting to show.

Car came that colour:wasntme:... Didnt like it either at first, but it grows on you. In terms of quality of the paint job i think its actually quite good, so wont be changing colour any time soon. :D

passivated zinc.
The gold would go nicely against the green car. :D
