What Color for Rims?

[SkitterSkotter]

So I decided that I really needed some winter wheels for my car. I checked out craigslist and I was able to pick up some 16x7 rims for $90. They were in good shape, but I cleaned them up a bunch then primed them flat white. Currently the color looks really good actually, so I don't know if I should just finish them with gloss white or do something cool like:, dark bronze, dark purple, or neon yellow. My car is orange/hot lava.

Any suggestions would help. Here are what the wheels look like:



And here is a good shot of just one wheel:

It's hard to imagine, but purple might look good.. no matter what don't do yellow..

If I had Hot Lava I'd do Gold, SBC or Bronze wheels.

I myself have a Hot Lava FR-S... I always wondered what a monochrome scheme would look like in Hot Lava. So my vote is to paints them Hot Lava! Pleeeease?

Paint them Salt White.

I had the same inkling. I really feel like purple would look pretty nice actually. Another idea I had was to do a white with a neon green lip.

The Anthracite metallic is badass looking.

If you decide you dont like it or it gets beat up, you peel it off and do it again.

Purple and orange immediately make me think Clemson fan, but that's just because I've been living in SC for almost ten years now, lol.

IMO I'd stick with white. They're winter wheels, they're probably going to get dirty and possibly beat up eventually.

I don't think color-matching the body would look terrible.

Anthracite

Will do. I think I need to do one more coat of the clear then let it dry before I can throw some wheels on there. I think they will look sweet, but I won't know until they are installed.
