some parts of my car are going to be repainted.
I'm planning to do the rims as well. :roll:
Wich colour would be better looking : pure white or GGP as the car ?

I've got to ask... how did you change the colours...

Gris métal foncé, un gris légérement different et un chouilla plus clair que celui de ta voiture.

PS: in a dark metal gray, a bit lighter than the car itself

Gunmetal!
I was never really a fan of painted wheels until I saw the new Honda Accord in grey with painted wheels and it looks good.

I think the white or Grey would look better, I am a wizard with photoshop skills, is that how you changed the colours

Yep GunMetal would look better..
By the way, have you posted this on the .net aswell. i am sure i've seen the same pics there too

I like neither - silver or chrome would be better but each to his own. But if I had to choose out of the two I'd go for the dark grey ones.

How about the silver and the grey? Like PeeJ's wheels (er, apart from the fact they are silver and black). Do a search and it should come up with a recent post/pics of the wheels.
(I'd do it myself but I'm pretending to be working!)

White ones you'd have to clean every day! Go for grey - they only need cleaning every other day...

gunmetal will look better but personally you should go for chrome...its your choice to make..hope its the right one.
Nice wheels though.................................................

answers : yes the pics were photoshopped
yes i posted aswell on .net
I will make it dark grey as everybody suggest on every forum I asked , I thought about white cause I had white wheels on my previous car that was dark grey too

and I think it looked good but it was not very discrete
Bobski
June 17, 2003, 10:02 pm
If i had to choose i would say grey, cos i think the white just doesnt do anything for the car.
But i would also look into the chromed gunmetal effect (v cool).

Mine are gunmetal at the moment and they look ok but they'll look better when I wash them and they turn back to silver.
greeneyes
June 20, 2003, 7:56 am
Gunmetal grey yes, but not the actual body colour! Make them 2 shades lighter to give them some contrast, or they will vanish into the body mass and make it look as though the car has no wheels. Some Hondas have dark body-coloured wheels and it looks truly disgusting!

now your asking, yes but i'll have to find them.
