Default 16" RSX wheels painted '02 EP3 SI Euro Yellow

I picked up a set of 16" RSX wheels (2002) for $100 the other day. I was wanting to paint them a wacky color and put some inexpensive tires on them. I'm thinking Euro Yellow off the 2002 EP3 Civic SI. Any one got any other suggestions? I'm open to anything EXCEPT Takata Green (or any other shade of green people like to call Takata Green ).

Here is the color:


And here is the car they'd be going on (the sw388s are not going anywhere):

There's a reason why Honda produced that color for only one year. LOL

Umm, gunmetal, blue (to match the calipers ), or black.

Yeah, I paid $100 for mine. The tires were shot, but that didn't matter to me. They were 205/55 anyways.

I don't think I want to do Army green. I'm trying to stay away from the green.

I think the yellow would be cool, also the blue off the EP3 Si would be cool too. Or Electron Blue Pearl would be neat.

If those wheels get the right color, they actually don't look too bad. Really.

Trouble is, on a black car you're kind of limited as to what color looks good. White can pull off anything, but black--not so much. Probably a blue, gray, or bronze would be the best. Why not try for a gold/bronze?

Hmmmmmm....

That candy purple would look kinda cool actually. I've sen some TE37s on here a while ago for sale that looked pretty good in that colour.

Other than that, the RSX rims might look pretty cool chrome dipped, than burnt for that rainbow titanium look. That'd be unique!

purple would look good.. black cars as well as white are easy.. its other colors that are hard to decide.. but black and white will go with about any color out there.. honestly i think black is easier..

i would say if u dont want the army green then go with..
purple?
navy blue?

Purple is a good idea. I wonder about the Super Sonic Blue Purple (OEM Integra color). I'm going to be looking into that for sure.

I was also considering a color like Velocity Red that comes on the Mazdaspeed Miata. It's got a ton of pearl.

Here is a sample (not the greatest, but it's easy to find pictures of your cars):
