I'm debating which color to go with on my racing hart J5.
They currently have dark grayish face with polished lips.
My car is silverstone with carbon hood.

picture of my car with different wheels.

 

A picture of your current wheels would help

 

I would do black. I think it would stand out the most.

 

goldie

 

ahh a drifter i see....i would go with a bright color and leave lip polished. it would stand out nice against the SS (i.e. gold, tangerine-orange, neon green, aqua teal, white, candy purple)

 

My rims are dark dark grayish now. The reason i want to change the color is because they look black from far away.
not a fan of black rims with polished lips.
@boomerz i'm a beginner haha. i agree that bright color goes well with polished lips. It's just matter of how fast i'll get tired of the bright color lol
By the way, these rims are going to be spray can painted.
Colors are limited

 

nah dude powdercoat it. don't take the cheap way out. the paint will eventually peel even if you buy the special high temp paint, it won't look the same and it won't have that strong bond that powdercoating provides. the finish will last forever and it's easy to clean. powders can handle up to 500+ degrees.

but i can understand why you'd want to use spray paint because your an amateur drifter and you probably don't care if the rims get scratched or chipped. but since you have a nice set of wheels i'd still take care of them and treat it with a nice PD finish.

 

friend bought a Z with these wheels and the previous owner painted them black and doesnt do any good for the wheel imo. think they were originally gold spokes and looked better.
I would probably do volk f-zero blue on the spokes with the polished lip.

 

what do you mean by black didnt do good?
that blue looks so fresh...

 

meant the black spokes didnt do it justice. made the wheel look worse than the original color.
yeah the blue is nice.

 

that blue is the best man.

ANyways jorges ( quicksilver) car sits over at IMR next to mine haha.
He has those wheels on a CS and they are gold/bronze centers.. looks good.

 

i found a picture of gold painted J5. it's been added

 

hmmmm - i still recommend the f-zero blue

 

Ima just spray paint these. I can always PC when im 100% satisfied with the color and the rims.
gotta look into paint codes..
