Painting my rims... what do you think?

By teal_dx
- Thu Feb 01, 2007 3:45 pm #1925 Ok as you know I'm in the process of painting my car, my new color doesn't go with my daily driver wheels...

Original:

And here's the wheels on the other side of the car:

(yeah that's right my rims don't match, but nobody ever sees both sides of the car at the same time so that's how I roll :crazy: ) One of the ADR's got curbed and they're out of production, so I got 2 Enkei DM6's (same size 16x7") off ebay for $60.

So... I was gonna paint the rims Satin black since they would stand out less and I like black wheels with my new green paint:

Then I thought what if I had polished lips...
Image

Image
nah, looks like every other rim out there...

What about a Anodized Red Lip:
Image

Image
I thought it would look like Christmas, but I actually like it!

What about a Anodized Orange Lip:
Image

Image
It's definitely different, I've never seen rims with an orange lip... But it looks a little like a Pumpkin color scheme, no?

What about a Smoked Clear lip?
Image

Image
It's different... I like it better than the polished lip, less bling.

So overall I'm thinking:
All black (easiest to paint), or Red lips, or Smoked clear lips.

What do you all like? :?
