    Yeah bronze and gold both crossed my mind as good options.. I don't want to look too blingy though. Trying to be more under the radar if that makes sense. Bronze would be really sexy with the red.. can't go gold cuz my mom has gold rims on a red car and it wouldn't be fair to steal her look!

    A lot of votes for gunmetal. I may well go that direction. May even have some fun with painting a looney design on the hub caps (so much for under the radar haha)

    All of the votes for black don't surprise me, I knew to expect that given how popular a choice that is. What does surprise me is the suggestions to rock the chrome plastic trim on top of the painted rims:eek:
    Could someone clue me in on the thinking there? Not saying it would look bad, more just curious what people think of plastic/if you think it's tacky.

    I ended up going Gunmetal.


    Now I need advice on what to paint the plastic center/hub caps! Do I go darker or lighter than the rim??
