Default what color should i paint my wheels?

theres not alotimo that goes well with the color green my car is. i was thinking maybe a silvery color around the edge (to match the trim around my windows)and maybe a darker charcoal/grayish color for the rest but im open to suggestions. what do you guys think? thanks!


NOTE: the wheel in the picture is probably the only one that looks that clean. the guy who had it before me liked to hit curbs a lot and theres a big black mark on one

i think that will be to much, with calipers it it will be extreme unless its red or black. as for the wheels go, gl, green is a hard color if your custom painting your stock rims.

for calipers i would NOT do yellow or orange. keep it simple. less is more. black or MAYBE red.

as for the wheels, i have a buddy with the same color car, and he did gunmetal wheels with a polished lip and it looks awesome. you could also do a gold/bronze for the wheel and pull that off well also.

I say go with purple and yellow! Or better yet paint each one a different color.

Charcoal/gunmetal always looks nice on a green car IMO, especially if you mask the lip of the wheel to keep it bright silver and set off the look of the whole thing.

Please please please do *NOT* mix green and yellow. Take a semi-close picture of your rims so I can see the calipers too, that way I can photochop them. I can't do much with just this pic, it's low quality and there's not much besides the rim.



EDIT: I decided not to do a colored trim around it because, like I said, it's low quality, and so it would've looked really awkward in perspective to the wheel.
