Wheel color opinions.

Hello,

I have to repair two of my wheels (Champion RS98) due to some curb rash from the previous owner. So, I was was playing with some color option in photoshop. What you guys think. Should I keep them the silver or go with maybe the gold or the black.

Thanks,

Too many black wheels on white cars. I would go with the gold for something different.

the shade of gold you have there looks great but would be difficult to replicate with paint. Looks more like an anodized lip with painted center. Matte black would be a safer choice. Have you considered a gun metal grey or dark blue (similar to volk te37 magnesium)?

I vote gold. Especially if you touch a few other small pieces on the exterior with the same color, possibly even the exhaust tips, windshield wipers, etc.

Black picks up the window molding.

What I really want is brake dust color......so I can just give on on the paint.
