So I told you guys about the idiot who messed up my wheels at firestone. So they are going to pay to have them fixed. I get an estimate today from Ye Olde wheel shop in Elkridge and find out they wont be able to match the color 100%. So I'm thinking 4 possible choices for a new paint color. close silver match, darker silver/gunmetal, gloss black, or flat black. What do you think?

Edit: The car color is silverstone.

 

flat black looks clean as hell, and gunmetal looks very sporty. I would have a hard time picking between the two, but would lean towards gunmetal.

 

gunmetal

 

Gloss Black!

 

Gloss Black I have them on a Daytona Blue Z and they look great.

 

Look for some pics of the painted 06/07 OEM wheels. I am not a big fan of the powder coating on them, but if you are up for it, go with silver/gunmetal.

 

pics?

 

 

Flat black starts to look like brown with the slightest brake dust build up. go with gloss black or stain if it's an option.

F that... if they cant be fixed back to stock make them replace them. Then paint the old ones and have them as winter wheels or something to bang around in. I wouldnt settle for less.... but thats just me.

 

Hmmmm, gloss black for me

dont forget to post pics when u get them done

 

Hmmmmmm. I never expected gunmetal to rank that high. I am going to black out the tailights and headlights so black is a nice choice but I may work with the painter and see about a custom color. Something thats almost black but has some pearl or metallic flake in it. Since I am not paying for it, I might as well get creative.

 

Thats a good thought and was my original thought but because I dont want to have to deal with the corporate office and deal with all the BS I may just settle for the painted option. We will see, everything is still up in the air right now.

 

F--- paint! Have them polished or powder coated! Paint rubs off!

 

you could always just buy my powdercoated touring rims lol but +1 on powdercoated rims, will last and look alot better then paint!

 

look like the "gloss blacks" have it, regardless of the poll! so post some pics when you get them gloss black! here's mine

 

Hell.....I would have them give me the cost of what a OEM rim is and take that money and buy 2 aftermarket ones. Then I only have to pony up for 2 rims out of my own pocket......just my 2 cents.
