    opinions wanted: what colors

    Ok so i'm going to refinish my euro weaves, and initially i was going to polish the whole thing then realized it was going to take me an eternity. Plan B, polished lip for sure and something in the middle. My car is brilliantrot, i want something that will stand out and make the 15in wheels look bigger. I'm thinking of powdercoating them. Colors so far are bronze, gold, silver, black is eh i need to see it what it looks liek first. I dont want to use wheel paint but i will if have to to get the look i want.

    go with silver with polished lip. I know its already been done but its gonna make the wheels look bigger than any of your other options.

          I don't like powdercoated rims.. they always look dull and have a wierd texture to them.

          and nogaro isn't a very dark color..

              Refinish them in silver, the darker you go the smaller they will look,
              especially with a polished lip.

                Silver will look good, as will negro, like Nando has.

                  Paint them to match your cars color.

                  Or Nogaro.

                        yeah probably just paint them silver and polish the lip, sounds like the best option right now. so how much is wurths wheel paint?

                          I don't even think its worth polishing the lip, its so small and it won't make a big difference on a rim that is silver.

                            yeah that's another factore why i kinda dont wanna do silver, i definately want a polish lip though. Nickmpower did it to his wheels in gold and it looks good, but i'm still debating gold on my car. tahnks for all your opinions guys
