going to paint my OE wheels...opinions on color?
 

I curbed one of my wheels last year and it has been eating me alive :mad:, so I'm going to remove the tires and fix the curb rash and repaint my wheel(s).

My car is Titanium Grey and I've seen most people go with Gunmetal. Does anybody that has sprayed their wheels this color happen to remember the paint code?

I found a color that is very close to stock color so I could just respray the one that is messed up but the factory clearcoat is kinda dull and I dont like that...i'm a perfectionist.

Whatcha think fellas?


Thanks.

Hot pink goes well with Ti. Or purple, or Teal.

go 80's and just match the car!

or maybe a dark bronze? there are WAY to many Rx8's running around with flat black wheels, so you cannot do that.

This! :rofl:

Paint it the same color as the shinka wheels, that dark silver-ish color. I think that'll look original and cool. And Yeah jdfd3s is right, too many flat black wheels so no don't do it, then you'll be like everyone else...but to each their own, whatever floats your boat...

hyper black!

Just leave them alone and save for proper wheels or get them refinished to stock.

fix that one you curbed and buy you a set of 25mm spacers :)

well I dont want to start a war but I thought wheel spacers are bad news

lot of them especially on winter time..:yelrotflm

I have one with no problem..bunch of people here install them...25mm for OE wheels

I was just reading 9k's thread about wheel spacers.

gun metal FTW!

I'm not sure. I just know it looks good....I'm plannin one 15mm bolt ons soon though, however this is not my daily driver so I wouldn't know how much strain it can put on the wheels bearings if it's daily driven. I don't think 9k had any problems with his though...:dunno::

semi flat looks hot.
