What color should I get my wheels painted?

T-MC-G · 12-07-2006, 05:06 PM

I stopped by rimpro today, (www.rimpro.com) about getting the curb rash on my wheels fixed. I guess since the lip has a polished aluminum insert on top of it they have to remove the insert and the machine the metal under it to make the new lip look good, kinda wierd but whatever. As part of the process they are going to repaint the wheel. I have the option of changing the color if I want to. I am looking for suggestions on what to consider getting them painted. I was thinking the spokes could be painted a metalic burgandy dark red with a polished lip. Any ideas or photoshops would be great! here is a pic of the car.
