Color suggestions for the rims to go with a car that's Asphalt with carbon bits?


I was thinking bronze or copper....but am open to other ideas!
Dark silver wheels are my suggestion, using a black base, with silver metalizer. Even with full coverage the color is still nice and dark. The main reason I suggest that over gold, is that you can apply touch up coats if the color ever discolors due to dust etching into the dip.

I've also done bronze, but it eventually turned to full gold for the same reason I mentioned above. I'd apply more metalizer to freshen the finish which brightens the color, rather than strip and reapply from a bare wheel.
If you're okay stripping and reapplying from scratch to maintain the finish you want, then disregard what I said.
