Default What Color to do my Wheels in?

Well everybody, I'm about to bite the bullett on re-doing my wheels. As some of the ballers at the BK meet this weekend could tell, the polish is starting to pit, pretty badly

I have been talking to Justin @ Redline for a few weeks now deciding if I want vinyl (which I really do). I've always wanted vinyl, and now I'm finding that I can have it, and it makes me smile . But first and foremost I need my wheels redone. Here are my choices...

1. Just get them repolished and cleared...
2. Gloss black, the whole wheel!
3. Gloss black with a polished lip.
4. Gloss black with a colored lip (SPECIFY YOUR COLOR!)
5. Other!

Some of you may have seen the chop with the pink lips, and I LOVE the way it looks. But going to work every day and parking in a lot full of officers, they would look at me like im a Tool. I kind of want to avoid that. If I do decide pink though, I will not regret it. Here are some shots of the car with the wheels...







Let me know what you guys think, I'm ready to pull the trigger on this...

Repolish, why destroy the beauty of the wheels by painting them.

Kinda partial to Purple...I also like the pink though!! I think highly contrasting colors like that really set it off and make it look great! I say do it!!

You have only two options here brother...

Pink Centers with Polished lips

or

Flat Black Centers with Pink Lips

Either would be hot fire -- I like the lips being the focus of the wheel, as they are so big, so I vote for the latter.


Another thing to think about.. what are you going to do with your centercaps? Paint them too or just run them wide open.

Its not an option on your poll bro. PS it. Maybe even paint the inside of the spokes blk as well. Look up some of the forgiatto wheels.
