Default *PS request* Painted LS mesh on my Adriatic Blue Pearl DC4

Im thinking I might paint my LS wheels on my teg, and I cant decide which color to go with. My options are: leave them stock, all gunmetal, gunmetal w/ polished lip, bronze or flatback.

I know there are tons of threads with pics of painted LS mesh wheels, but none of them were on a color even similar to mine. Here is a pic of my car, if someone could change the color of the wheels to the colors listed above, Id appreciate it

I've had mine Gunmetal with a Polished Lip,Flat Black,Red and now Bronze which goes very well with my Milano Red EK Hatch.They looked the best Gunmetal with the Polished Lip very clean and it went with any colour I had them on my DC that was CW it looked clean to say the least.I'd go Gunmetal but it's up to you I think I'm going to get mine dipped Gunmetal again it looks way to good to pass up.

I think you should paint them gold with a polished lip.

Your car looks really damn clean. Leave it the way it is and just get an ITR lip.

Painting stock wheels looks very cheap.

They only look cheap if you do a crappy job. Take your time, do it right, and they should turn out great. IMO you should put an acura (honda/whatever u want) symbol back on the center cap. It gives them a more finished look. Some painted LS mesh wheels that i've seen w/o anything on the center cap seem like they're missing something. For mine, I just got some vinyl cut to the same size as the stock A on there.

hey look at that, another adriatic blue pearl. When I first got mine I was going to paint my meshies, but I got a deal on some rims. Keep it stock and save up for rims. I can't stand meshies anymore after having my rims. I used think they were okay, but now when I see them on integras, they're just like so ugly to me.
