any recommendations?

i'm thinking a color like this...

I personally think this is closer to the gold you'll want to try. Still looks a tad too orange, though. Gold is a tough color to photoshop from aluminum:

Black:

Grey:

Give me the heads up and I'll change the lugs.

*EDIT*
Changed to a better gold.

*EDIT2*
Changed to a darker black.

YAY!

awesome thanks FKyx!

hmmm, now i just need to decide which one looks the best..

what do you think? any suggestions?

Personally, I like a dark grey/gunmetal. Black really only looks good with shiny, super low profile tires, in my opinion.

I think the gold looks okay. It looks just a tad out of place on the stock turbo wheels. I prefer gold on wheels with thinner spokes, but I think it'd work with the stockers.

If it were my car, I'd run gunmetal (like the color on the wheel you posted).

the WRX one w/ the chrome lip, right?

cool, i think i will do that one

..

should i paint the whole wheels or leave a lip?

i was thinking ABM on the lip and the lug nuts.

would you make my lugs and lip ABM if i take a close up (better shot) of my wheel and post it up?

hahha

dont go too rice (ABM lugs and lip)

but I totally say gunmetal... and nay on the gold... to pimp for ABM... just doesnt fit IMO

ya you're probably right,

ha ha
no crazy color combinations..
Midnight black metallic/gunmetal^^

Fkyx · Post by **Fkyx** » Sun May 25, 2008 6:31 pm

Alright. Here's the gunmetal again:

Gunmetal with stock lugs:

Gunmetal with stock lugs and stock colored lip:

Gunmetal with ABM lugs and ABM lip:

Gunmetal with black lugs and black lip:

lol:

That's about as dark as I'd go with the gunmetal. If you go too much darker than the tire, it starts to look dumb. So a couple of shades darker than the tire is where I'd stop.

I've got around 10 years of on/off experience under my belt. But I haven't actually done a ton of photochopping. Took me a few minutes to get the hang of making that stock color into other things, but it's cake now.

I might have to drop a thread with some of my work into the Ashtray.
