Default What color(s) to paint the 17" motegi's?

i'm sick of the black/grey/dustymetal/ whatever color these are...


i was thinking of repainting them, maybe with a red stripe or something???
(we all know how much i ADORE red stripes! LOL!)
but i don't dare ask in the "APPEARANCE/Cosmetics" forum anymore- (i think it's the new "Kills" area!)
....those guys just don't know how to appreciate an EP3 like we do!
any non-flaming suggestions or pics would be helpful!

So, anyone have a picture of the best looking 7 spoke motegi's we've ever seen???
(-don't bother if they are NEON ORANGE-or-GREEN!)
Thanks!

You could powder coat them Taffeta White with a red lip.

White and red...
but i dont know how to powder coat, i'm just going to ruin them with some light coats of spray paint
never thought about white... i'll check on Gran Turismo, and see if there are any like that!

anyone with pics of another "nice looking" set?

Sell them and get new rims in the color you want.

me too, but then again, repainting is very high on my "to do" list for the winter.

buying a Ni$e New $et is very low on my "want$" li$t...
(which may take a few year$ to get to!)

But thanks everyone for the input! i always appreciate it!
checked Gran Turismo- those look alright!

i guess it's white and red! FTW!

Screw the wheels, repaint your car. Looks like you drove through a gay pride parade.

Leave the guy alone. He likes the car, so let him enjoy it. Powder coating is definitely the way to go. A shop can do it for you for like $50 - $100 per wheel (maybe less) and it will look better and last longer than paint.
