Got These For a Steal!!!...Now I Need Your Opinions

[RWKustoms]

Ok so I just got these 18" HP Evos for a steal but as you can see it was painted to match the color of the previous owner's car . I want to paint these this weekend but I am stumped on what color. I had HP Evos on my car a few years ago in silver and I sold them and put my 16" stockers back on and ever since then I regretted selling them. Now that I got them back I'm not sure what color to paint them..bare in mind that I have a white dsm.

Opinions welcome.

White would look good with alot of colours personally I'm a fan of either black or charcoal/gun metal centers.

WTF That's how I got them painted like that.

I was thinking this too, I'm feeling the darker color... and maybe it might look good with my CF hood.

With a spoked wheel you may be able to pull off a bronze or copper color.

Black or Gun metal with a polished lip would look Sick

I agree! Look at DennieGST's car.

White car? I'd leave them. Blue on white would be unique in a good way.

Don't do white.
I have white Volk TE-37's, and they get dirty if you look at the car wrong.
I'd go with a dark Bronze or perhaps a gunmetal.

def go bronze...but screw the paint idea, have them powder coated and then cleared...check out columbiacoatings.com i think i saw some nice bronze powder on there, or go realy crazy and get some crazy color option from them, but bronze would look best.

 

[RWKustoms]

Nah, I definitely wont leave them blue . I just took a look at denniegst's profile pic and the bronze/goldish color does look really good with the white (but I need to see some more pics of his car though).

So I think it's between bronze/gold or black/gunmetal colors.
Damn I never thought this would be such a hard decision. How much do you think it is to powdercoat all four? I don't wanna spend alot of money especially since I got these at a really good price.

Bronze or silver....black and gunmetal is just so played out.

 

[denniegst]

ill try to get some more pictures up soon

i tried to base my scheme on this:

<too big.>

the rims on the m3 is almost identical to those hp

Keep them blue. Straight outta Gran Turismo style. Blue on a white car might not look too bad.

 

[fp-green-95tsi]

I vote for keeping them blue too! Gold wheels are getting played out, cant remember the last time i've seen blue wheels on a dsm. Atleast slap them on and post a pic.

 

[RWKustoms]

Ok, so after looking at that pic with the M3 I'm gonna take the plunge and do the gold or bronze color. I'll put one of the wheels on before so that I can show the white with blue.

Are your wheels gold or bronze? Looks like gold in the pic.

 

[blackGSX2g]

Definately stick with the dark bronze...I think the black/polished lip look is way played out.

If you ever wanna get rid of them, let me know

 

[talonproject]

burnt orange chrome?

 

[OverBoostinGST]

gold or black and leave the lip chrome

 

[boosted_91_tsi]

You could always try a photo shop just to get an idea. I am curious. But definitely get a pic with the blue on the car before you paint them. Be sure to post some pics when its all done though

 

[denniegst]

the color is 'glossy gold'
