So I'm thinking about going a dark red to somewhat match the brick red leather seats. But maybe darker like red wine, candy apple, or even Burgundy. Something like this (minus the pearl)

TSM color match
Satin black
Hypersilver

(but since I see you had purple wheels before I imagine those are all too subtle for your taste). Saw a cool red done on some wheels over on nastysock - think they were "oxblood" or something like that. I don't like the brandywine - doesn't fit the interior tone either. Maybe get sample color chips and color match the brick red leather?

Gloss black, hyper black, hyper silver.


Agreed that white on silver looks bad. Same as gold or bronze on silver. Blech.

I was thinking like diamond black how the bbs's come but with gray or black wheels there's really no contrast. I want them to pop.

That picture makes the car look like it doesn't have any tires and simply floats an inch off the ground.

The bright color wheel trend is lost on me. With TSM - dark wheels work well, and brighter wheels (Hypersilver for example) show a lot more detail. Contrast can be acheived within the grayscale and there's something to be said for subtle mods vs. "in your face" (IMHO).

Correct, but most of us here aren't drift-crazy teenagers.

Paint 'em banana yellow if it suits you. But yeah, you will get a lot of votes for variations of silver / grey / black.
