Alright guys... This is my last chance to decide which color my rims will be. Friday, im finally getting them blasted and powder coated. I cant make up my mind. I have a teal mx3. oh remember, they only coat full color, no taping off or anything. I kinda like a glossy black, but they might not get the attention the deserve. I dont like gunmetal because its too plain. silver stands out, but its the same as what everyone else has. white is cool but i think i only like white rims on a red car. red would be cool on like a red or blue car, i dont know how it would look on a teal car. yellow is too bright. ugh!... im wanting something that stands out but doesnt look stupid. maybe something not like everyones you see that is silver. got me?

Bronze or gunmetal. Dont go gloss black, kinda cheesy IMO and makes the rims unnoticeable

Here are some pics of teal cars with rims from the solo_ryder vault:

Solo... I knew you was my hero!
You saved the day... I finally made up my mind. Bronze, it will be.
I'm in love with those pictures, and once I seen them, I immediatly started humping my own arm. It felt good.

That is all I have to say. Thank you.

So, You guys got me into the whole bronze on my rims. I'm diggin it.
I'm not getting them powdercoated. I'm getting them blasted, then I'm going to paint them myself. Minor problem though. Autoparts place has the Duplicolor wheel paint, and they have bronze. From pictures I've seen of the color on rims, it's the darker bronze. I'm wanting the bronze/gold type bronze color. Don't you guys think that will look better?
It will stick out alittle like I like. So, where do I get this color at?
I'm planning to rattle can spray the rims, which I already know I can do a pretty good job, then throw alittle clear over them. should have it lookin good.

It does look pretty sweet. So, your thinkin I shouldn't go any lighter?
kp2t's rims are like, gold. I like the way they look, but I don't know if that color rim will look good on green. What do you guys think?
Sorry if I'm annoying about this, but I love to have other people opinions, and I'm not the best at visualizing things like this. Some input would be great guys.
Thanks.
