  • What color?

    I've got a set of 14" tracer? rims that I'm thinking of painting and I am wondering on opinions.

    Currently 3 of 4 our stock silver and unfortunately one is already painted.

    Here is how they sit now on the car



    And here is the red one


    I kind of like the rims, they give it a stock look.

    Actually dude I like both colors. Red would look kick butt and would match the pin stripe, but the stock metal color looks cool too.

      Personally I think they would look good in white, but red does look good too! Definitely a tough choice for any color.

                You could always have the red one blasted to have it match the rest. The stock silver looks best IMO.

                      I was seriously considering painting my rims fluorescent red, since I have a green Festiva. In your case, any color would go well with a neutral white.

                        Gold or bronze always looks good on white cars....the red looks good too though

                          That gets my vote!

                          If you didn't have the red strip, I'd suggest black as a contrasting color to the white body.

                              I more of a black guy. I like the bronze rims I have on them now but I don't think these rims would look as good bronze. White could look pretty good as well. Like 91_Festy_GL I am not a fan of flashy rims but I do think the red would match well with the stripe. Or like Doylerl suggested just blast the red one and leave them all silver.

                              That's the dilemma! So many choices. I suppose I could try out the different options on the one painted rim and see how they each look.
