What color should I paint my MKIV N/A wheels?

[Angry7M]

So I purchased some MKIV N/A wheel. Im debating in weather painting them some kind of dark color or leaving them chrome or just repaint them to the stock silver color.

What do you guys think I should do>? Pic of my supra in my sig.

Im leaning more to painting them maybe a dark color? Im not sure if its Gun Metal or Charcoal black? Thanks

matte black or leave it sucka

i think painting oem wheels different colors other than black looks awkward

Charcoal looks good.

I was actually thinking of painting them correctly, and not using a spray can to paint them.

And I wasnt any more serious than the guy that told you to paint them pink.

Id go gunmetal, gold or black. Powdercoat would be nice.

Powdercoat would be nice.

+1. Worth the money becuase powdercoat doesn't chip or scratch.

actually i've never seen a set of powdercoated wheels that turned out well. usually they will yellow or peel.

i'm partial to the duplicolor wheel paint. it lays down really well with the proper prep, cleans up easy, breeze to touch up if need be, and doesnt chip/peel/crack. well, i take that back. their clear coat sucks if you use that. it likes to yellow as well.

sounds like lousy prep work and or poor application to me.

It's all in the prep work.

yep i used the wheel can paint did 2 coats and it came out fine i did these to 3 different set of rims already...they do chip though you just have to touch it up every once in a while...but the best is powder coat it....i say do them black or chrome... :biglaugh:
