hey all,

so i finally got rims for my car! i don't have pics of them sorry =( but they are the m45 19's they need some work but i got them for really cheap. :chuckle:

so here's my problem they are already painted black but the rims need to be sanded and repainted (its got some curb rash) so my question to you guys is what color do you think i should repaint them i've seen the 2.5 A/C with black rims, but i'm not convinced its the best option. should i go with gun metal?

sorry i'd give you pics but i forgot how to lol

P.S i am not powder coating them to baller for my budget

looks like its the same color as my car. Champagne?

Well in my opinion id go with a silver or grey color. In the end id probably just go with plain silver or steel grey. But thats me.

There are multiple shades of colors, so just find one you like.

Not really a fan of those rims when they're painted black. I'd go with very dark silver/gray or gunmetal.

If you want something really temporary, you could try plastidip. Its a spray on coating that peels off easily. They make it in different finishes, including smoke iirc. Check out the tutorials on dipyoucar.com
