I think that's a good choice.
I'm so happy you didn't colour match the car, that would be .. ugh
In for pics

After 2 coats of clear the color really looks good and they have a nice thick coating so hopefully they clean up nicely. Overall, I'm pretty happy with everything now, I'll just have to let the paint cure then throw on some cheap 205 secion all season tires.

I'm a dude but I have a total boner for Tiffany blue. Should look great! I was thinking of doing the same accents on my whiteout.

Installed winter tires/rims. I think it looks legit, but many people tend to hate them. What do you think?!

I would have said another color, but I am also glad you went with this... It saves the other color for my other, future set of wheels...

i love that baby blue colour........but i'm not so keen on the way it looks with the hot lava.......i'm surprised that i don't like it more as they are complementary colours
i'm thinking a darker blue might have worked better

but as long as you like it.......all that matters!

Personally I think the color of those wheels would look best on a black or white car.
