Default Shall i repaint?

(more pics on pg3)


Hi guys..

3 months ago i painted my rims with a different colour code (Nh-58m) by mistake and they ended up a little darker. I was thinking to repaint them the original colour (Nh-546m).
I already took them off the car but i'll let you guys decide


Nh-58m ( the present colour)

Nh-546m ( the past colour)


Rgrds

They look a bit dull on the car and they look a bit smaller.

Here in Malta it's kinda illegal to have tinted windows but to have the rear only would pass by..

i like the original lighter gunmetal more as it shows the beauty and design of the wheel a little more clear. definition of the spokes get somewhat lost in the darker color, although it looks good if you want "stealth". if this is the case, add some black lugnuts and that should make it even sweeter.

if you wanna lighten the car up get some lighter color wheels and take off the tint it will give the effect of the car being a lighter color

yea i like both colors, but the darker looks great with that red. Either way, keeping it the color it is now just is gonna save time and the ever so valuable money. Keep it how it is.
