I am having my stock '97 LE/SE wheels painted professionally as a favor. I just can't decide on a good color for them. The car is silver moss and will stay that color. Even though I like bronze/brass, my wife said she REALLY didn't like it, so I am going with a gunmetal/graphite/light gray color.
Do you think I should go with a darker color or a lighter color? Does anyone have pics of these wheels already painted? I did a search and didn't find much.
Is this too dark for my car color?http://www.streetdreams.org/di...0Gray
These are a little lighter -http://www.streetdreams.org/di...0Gray
Any input is appreciated.
Need your opinion - wheel color

I hear you man. I like the idea of the bronze color, but i also wonder if it will be too much on the stock wheels. Seems bronze looks better on smaller spoked wheels - imo. I am probably going to go with a lighter color to contrast the car color some. I like the midnight black look, but anyone that doesn't know cars thinks your hubcaps fell off and the steel wheel is showing. Unfortunately I have to keep the car "presentable" for family and friend reasons. The politics involved as you get older sucks.

Re: (gabossie)
isnt there a tiny lip on those rims? You could do one of the greys and leave the lip stock grey, that would look good.
