Is your car red?...if so paint it the same color red as your car. If you really want red wheels I think a darker red would look good. A bright red would look toyish.

Don't know..go to Rotawheels.com and look it up..... and then print out a picture of the wheel. Next go to Auto Zone or Advance auto parts and try and match it up with some of the paint they have. There is wheel paint at these places but most only sell gunmetal,bronze, white, and normal alloy color. You of course could use paint thats made for interior or the car itself... but I don't think it will turn out the way you want it too. I think you should choose another color to paint your wheels or find someone that can powder-coat them the color you want.
