Default Wheel color help...

I know this is a lame question, but I value some of your guys' opinions...I really dislike the white on red scheme I have with my current wheels, not to mention the nightmare of cleaning these white monsters week after week. My only hang-up is changing the color of the wheels, therfore defacing the originally intended finish. Kinda like spray painting that nice gold chain your gigalo friend wears all the time silver.

The only color I am entertaining is a dark silver (dare I say gunmetal ), similar to the color of ITR or Z06 wheels. I will not consider black or bronze, so those are out of the question. Any reasonable suggestions will be considered. TIA


Here's an idea of what they look like now...

Black would complement the flow of the car.

black would be ok... but I think black wheels are kinda getting played out. Now everyone is taking off their hubcaps to have that "JDM look" and from far away you just cant tell. Maybe when the fad has passed. But really, do whatever you want man! Stay with Style and try not to get into fashion!

Style = You do what you think looks good

Fashion = You do what everybody else thinks looks good

I think they look tiiiite white like that. But only in those rims, I think those rims look very nice with your car.

Someone else I know suggested black, and although I am strictly against it...It's in the back of my head. If anyone has photoshop skills superior to mine, maybe you wouldn't mind making them a dark silver. I just got a new version on photoshop, and I'm not too familiar with it.

I'm trying to do something inexpensive, that does not need me to remove the wheels, send them out, etc...

Whats wrong dood? The statement you made was correct, I do like the black color. I'd totally be for it if it wasn't a "trend" right now to have black wheels. That's why I was considering a dark silver/gunmetal color. Seems like that would never go out of style.
