Just talked to my body shop

And found out he will paint all 4 rims for 150 bucks for me. Now the question is what color do you all think i should get them painted? I'm a laser blue metallic. Any suggestions?? Also post some pics of your stockers if you have painted them so it can help give me a better picture. Thanks guys

It depends on what color scheme you are going for. If you have black headlight and tinted tails, go with straight black rims. And then paint your calipers blue. I think that would look sharp. And i would also paint them a glossy black. Just my .2cents though

Ya i plan on tinting the tail lights soon and also tint the windows, but i'm not sure if i want flat black or the glossy.

I think glossy would look damn nice exp when you paint your calipers. Also try to photoshop red calipers on it, i think that might look better than blue but then again, ilove red on blue.

I'm not understanding what you mean by inserts lol, i'm kinda new here so bag on me lol.
Also guys i know this may seem lame but try not to use any cussing in this thread because at my dealership they just got a new web filter and if it has a "banned/cuss" word i can't open the page so please try to keep this open for me haha

what I mean is, the front of the wheel (the spokes) would be one color, and the inserts ( the beveled edges on the inside of the spokes, would a different color. if I was at home I'd do a quick photoshop for ya but I'm at work sry.

p.s. - aahhaha ban the cuss words!!!! no cussing at the dealership!!

I agree with him. IMO, stock rims with two different colors, one color of inserts and another on the other part of the rim, look better than most aftermarket rims.
