Default Help me pick a wheel color! RPF1's

Alright so I'm looking to paint my wheels, I want a little more pop. I was thinking either midnight purple, or something along those lines. Somebody recommended white but I feel like the silver is already pretty close to white. I want a color you can't buy from Enkei.

Here is a picture of the car:


Help me make a decision!

So you needs more attention!

Purple hasn't been done too many time!

Pink is gay
Green has been done too many time!
Black is the norm
White is for micheal
Red is too conflicting
Yellow will get old fast


So tertian that man can't help you

Pretty much. And I really think purple will be subtle in the dark but pop in the light. But I'm not quite sure!

Check out Flo ridaZ33 Z. I think he has plum/purple Volks.

Maybe try a purple color with some gold/metallic paint on them...

I have purple and it looks good on my SS but I'd say a vibrant Blue. I got a anodized purp legdurra lug nut color matched. I'd say use a Volk Formula Blue Lug nut as a reference. My buddy has a Suzuka Blue S2K with orange CE28's and it looks good.

Thanks for the shot out... The purp I have is a complete custom color and if you have money to blow then do it. Don't do a barney purp because it looks as gay as the dude that has the powder purp Varrdogs.

Hmm I guess I'll look around for a blue I like. I'll most likely be painting them at home. My buddy that owns a shop is going to bring his gun and we'll mix some paint. I really like the purple you're pulling off though it looks so different!

I really like the purple but I think the white and blue will look better.

What about the tail lights? Does Red+White+Blue not look weird on a car? I guess now it's either a very vibrant blue or a mag blue. There's somebody in my area that has blue RPF1's on PPW. I would need to do something that is a different shade.

This blue looks really good.

Here are a few:

My personal favorite is the green. I did a flat purple and a gloss purple for you. Gloss is hard to photoshop when the original wheels have no highlights so they kinda look bad. The blues look weird with the red tail lights.

I have blue wheels on my PPW Z but Ive been thinking of going teal instead. I think it has a little more "pop," not sure if thats what I want though

That S2000 has teal wheels, not really blue

I know J's racing does honda stuff, but I like that color teal as well
