photoshop request on powder coat on my stock tc wheels

It's hard to match a color to Victory Red IMO, so I thought I'd ask.

What color do you think will look good on my tc wheels on a VR car?

So if someone is skilled in the art of photoshopping, I would like to request a color test out on my car. Here's some pictures.

Thanks

RED CAR = GOLD RIMS

Don't do any other color, gold is sex on red. I would get a Red Cobalt just to have the gold rims on it.

Gunmetal argues with this.



Also, white would look great too.

Alright so I called a local powder coater and they quoted me $165 for all my rims if in good condition (which they are)

But I can't find the color that best matches Gun Metal, what do you guys think. They told me to go to this site and these are the colors they stock and will order if out. No others.

165?

Places around here are around 250-400 bucks for all 4 wheels. Make sure they take the necessary steps for a quality/lasting job.

They won't get other colors? sounds dumb. I would go somewhere else.

The guy looking to get mine done, said it will be 400 including dismounting-mounting tires bead blasting and virtually any color I wanted. black chrome is looking sexy to me.

This is the place, they say they do rims all the time. I don't know their procedure so I can't say the quality.

$165 for all 4 wheels powder coated if they're in good condition. They said since they're already powder coated they can spray over them and it'll hold and look good.
