Pink is the new flat black:
That's not pink, that's fushia. And teal is the new white. It's about time this color combo came back, the 80s are in again.
If I had more time, I'd make it black with teal paint splatters. But this will have to do.
This is my crap PSP attempt...How about a blue wheel with blue stripes? Sorry I had to change your hood to carbon fiber, looks good on a white car.
That blue is definitely interesting. I hadn't even considered that as a viable color for wheels. Keep it coming guys, this is good stuff.
No on the flouro pink wheels, someone showed up with tham @ an autocross last month on a white Urabus & it was hideous. This from a man who drives a dark purple MG with yellow wheels

I lusted after a redline freestyle bike that had that color scheme.
I am painting my saab dark forest green (a stealth colour) and I might do the centres of my RkIIs in bronze.
I am definatly going to look into the 130hp lathe.. or in my case.. the 185hp turbo powered lathe. My RKIIs are not so much kerbed.. but just scratched up on the edge
I am so lazy, I only clean the lip of my wheels most of the time, so the silver mesh looks gun-metal from the brake dust!
I was going to go black, but from anything more than 20 feet away the wheels get lost. I also thought about painting them body color.
I've decided the factory silver wheels on my car will become a matte gray this winter. The idea came to me as a spatter painted my cargo area this past weekend......
In reply to RexSeven: The second shot of your RX, is that with alot of brake dust, or did you have the flash on in the first shot? Nice wheel color in the second shot, I don't see any bronze in the first. Must be more gun than bronze.
Flat and satin dark colors are an excellent way to hide your wheels. No matter how nice your wheels are they just look like some old nastly steelies from 20 feet away.
Now dark centers with a polished lip is just awesome.
I vote get some aircraft remover, peel the clear off the lips and repolish them and be golden
In reply to ZOOMX5:
The first picture was taken on a sunny day, the second on a cloudy day. The rims look more like the second pic in real life than the first pic. There isn't much dust on the rims because there isn't much rim, but what's there is hidden well by the color. It's a unique color to that rim (5Zigen doesn't make them anymore).
