Help needed in choosing color for FR-S rims - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi...need some help in choosing a good color to dip my RED FR-S rims...safe color would be matte black or glossy black. But Im thinking of other colors like the Blaze Blue or Orange...please do share your opinions...thanks.

Pink

Or you can go to somewhere like tirerack.com and look at their tires then click on the what does it look like on my car button. I know it's not perfect since you're planning to dip your wheels and not buy new ones but you'll get the idea.

I was actually gonna say orange as a joke.. but red and orange don't really mix well imo. blue would be your better option.. debatably

Gold, red and gold always looks mint

Black would look like you lost your hub caps. White would be awesome.

White looks good on red cars but is a pain to keep clean.

I'm trying out my stock wheels on my raven in matte black plastidip then applying a lot of glossifier to give a shiny look. If it doesn't look good I'm keeping my stock wheel color.

White.

How is this even a question??

Loki2x · 07-09-2013, 07:15 PM

I agree, white looks best......when they're clean. If not, I'd go with bronze (dirty gold)

ciotime · 07-09-2013, 11:12 PM

Ive thought about white and Im sure it looks good...the problem is dirt and dust is quite visible on white. Ive now decided to try Blaze Blue and Anthracite Grey....Ill try both and see which one appeals to me.
