Been thinking about this since i got the wheels, want them to contrast a bit with the car,
so not going for black as i think it makes them look pants?

So was tempted to go with the Fools Gold Candy? (rear wheel in pic)
or it might of been the Copper Candy (front wheel in pic?) but think that's a bit too close to the car colour?

Heading towards the gold at the moment in a candy paint rather than a metallic or flat colour?

Suggestions or ideas please? Big Grin

The men in white coats will be coming for me after this next sentence:

I find myself agreeing with Shahz. I'm not mad keen on either but would choose the gold over the copper...

Can't really think of another colour to suggest!

What you want to do is, spray them black, and then mask off so just the front of the spokes are showing, then spray the spokes a nice bold colour. Keeping the rims polished or black too. Smile
I prefer the colour on the back wheel too.

I like the front colour as it blends in nicely, stealth look and then your eyes make contact and think "nice rims"
where as the gold rims are shouting "look at me"
Good job everyone's taste are different.

Copper Candy.

From an artistic point of view that is.
