What color should i paint my rims?

So far ive had black rims, gold rims, and white rims.. I just painted them white about a month ago and im tired of cleaning them all the time.. What should my next color be? I was thinking maybe pink or something?

Re: What color should i paint my rims?

Otherwise, get bronze

Re: What color should i paint my rims?

ya it's hard with the blue colour, anything too dark gets lost in the blue and anything too light look odd. the black was nice but was hard to define with the blue body. you could get really into it and try masking off the white around the spokes then paint them black. so you'd have white pin striping around the black and make them pop out from under the blue body.

or maybe a lighter blue for the striping instead of whit so the contrast isn't too high.

something like this


also found this pic while looking for pin-stripe rims, =D

Re: What color should i paint my rims?

i was gonna suggest neon pink as a joke cause it would be funny to see a legit civic with neon pink rims but if you're already thinking it go for it and see how it looks.

Re: What color should i paint my rims?

Please don't join the black rims chrome lip crowd!!!

I like the look of the white but if you're looking to change it up then see if you can get the rims to match the color of the car in one way or another. Blue with black would be a really good mix.

You should follow this guys motto.
