Rim Color??

[AgntorangeDSM]

Hey every body hows it going, well i picked up some rims from a buddy of mine for 100 buck with good rubber on them, but they have slight curb damage. so i am going to paint them and i thought i would get some opinions from others on what color looks good. the rims are motegi mr-7
and my car is a 1Ga thats going to 2 toned Top black pearl, and lower half a custom orange that i have mixed at my uncle's shop. so any ideas on colors to paint the rims is appreciated!!! thanks!

the Duplicolor wheel paint in gunmetal is a very nice color. i would recommend using that, or a gloss black.

here is what the duplicolor paint looked like when i fixed my old rims on my integra to help you choose:

Hey spoold, thats the color i was thinking on as well those are some sweet rims! i also thought of black as well and i went down to my unlce's shop to look through color books and i found a couple of colors, one was a honda color that was black with a red pearl in it, and another was the gold that the blue subaru wrx sti's have for rims. i used to have a pair of mugen rims from Japan when i was doing that ricer stuff and i liked the bronze color on those rims alot as well. but any ways thanks for your input guys. i'll let you know what color i choose and see if i can get ahold of a camera to post! thanks again

i once saw a 2g with the gsx wheels, they were painted to match the car, they did have the polished lip.. but w/e either way they looked pretty good... just an idea color match the spokes then in stead of the polished lip paint it to match the roof?... just throwing out an idea...

that doesn't look too bad really but i think thats only because its a dark color, if i do an orange and black two tone i wouldn't do orange for sure but i just can't decide on gun, black, or dark bronze yet because its gotta look good on an orange dominate car
