I just got a set of RPF1s and they are all satin black. I have a silver 03 MCS and have all chrome blacked out.
I dislike the black wheels because it makes the wheels look small because its hard to tell where the wheel ends and the tire begins. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON COLORS. Im down for Gunmetal, Graphite, Bronze, Green, Blue, etc...
Please post your opinion. Thanks

 

Pics of your wheels and your car would help spur discussion I'm sure.

 

I will help.

Enkei RPF1 in black:



Your car...nice pic

 

 

I think silver like the body would look good. It's hard to say if you should go with a non-neutral color like green. There is no color accent on the rest of the car besides red, but I think red would look weird.

 

Ha, nice thanks. Just went out and took pics for you

 

I even like the dark blue

OH MAN, those pics came out of nowhere, haha. I agree with you that black blends. I'm starting to hate my black side wheels unless they are freshly cleaned. A friend of mine has them in silver on a DS Mini and they look good. Maybe red or yellow, with the opposing color on the brake calipers?

EDIT: (your link) those are BRIGHT

 

I was contemplating a red, a deep red might be nice

 

I like that blue as well. I think you could get away with that or even a lighter, sky blue color. Red/yellow might be too aggressive for the PS color...if that makes any sense...

 

Agree with the deep red. Maybe someone can photoshop something for you.

 

My girlfriend is a computer arts major and is photoshopping these colors for me as we speak. Hopefully this will give me/ you an idea

 

Awesome. I'll make sure to check back later.

 

I like the gunmetal

 

I'd say match them to the color of the car. My rims are currently being powder coated white to match the roof/mirrors/stripe and cant WAIT for them to be done.

 

WHAT WOULD YOU DO!!!

 

I like the blue, but I'm a bit Ostentatious.

 

Red or Bronze FTW

 

heres a pic of bronze, kinda shows what would look like

 

My vote's for the light grey, or the bronze. In my opinion, everything else just says "look at my flashy rims, and not my car".

 

THIS COLOR!!!

oh and see if your girlfriend can lower the car a bit too

 

Body color or an aluminum color.Go with red calipers while your at it (you have so much space between spokes you don't want it to be dark behind them). Silver is a hard car to make look good.But when they do look good, they look great.

I would think about getting the wheel arches and the rest of the black plastic trim pieces done to match the body color. Just my opinion though. I've always had problems with the black trim against the silver.

 

The calipers WILL be red by the time the wheels get colored. And the car will be lowered in the next couple months

 

Gold or anthracite.

 

I say be different and 2 tone them. Leave the spokes or just the face of the spokes original color and paint/powder coat the rest of the wheel...
