What color to repaint my stock ss/sc wheels?
Well i'm looking to change the look of my lbm cobalt a little and decided that i don't want the stock ss/sc wheels black anymore. What color do you guys think would look better and look good on a laser blue ss/sc? I was thinking a bronze or darker silver/gray.. but here's what it looks like now

When I seen the thread title I thought "Well everyone's going to say black"

Then I say to myself "Oh they are black. So really CSS members will say bronze, or gun metal" Yup looks like the typical thread to me.

i would've already chopped it but switching rims from black to gold is next to impossible on PS given how dark that picture is taken..

if you find another car with the gold rims you want from the same angle, post it up and then I can PS it for you!
