    New wheels HARTGE. paint what color?

    So here are my new wheels. Hartge 16x 7.5. They are currently a dark gunmetal with a few chips here and there, (see below).
    I will be having them resprayed tomorrow.
    1. Should I have them refinished in black as well as the center caps. or.
    2. Spray them silver to match the center caps? Here is a picture of my car if it helps what color to decide.
    Thanks for your input.

                  Black gets my vote too. 8)

                  Maybe black with silver lip?

                  Will they be autocrossing wheels or somethin? Leave the BBS's as the daily rims? Black autocross rims are the way to go in my book, hide all that brake dust.. :twisted:

                    Wow such a response. The old bbs rk rims are now sold to LikeCDoos. The wheels will currently be summer rims. I am 50/50 but the majority seems to lean towards black

                      I say do them in silver. they are not a common rim and when they are black you won't even be able to see them. you may as well be running black bottlecaps or something.

                          Agreed.

                            Black wheels are gay.

                            Silver would be much better.
