paint it any color you want, you don't need peoples opinions/advice/tell you what to do on your car. your car, your taste. just how getaforknjob did blue and is unique for doing something different that looks good aswell.

one thing though, I hope your lowered cause if not your worried about the wrong thing to do to your car first.

also everyone that paints there stock rims usually spray paints them.

look at the painted stockies thread for different colors.

FlintMica2005 she's not lowered yet. but she will before her stockies get painted. im waitin till summer. plus the lowering of her is a simple enough task. doesnt require picking colors lol

well if your gonna look for certain color rims on SCM than thats basically jocking THERE style and choosing something generic that everyone has. but thats all on you.

im not looking for "certain colors" i was asking for an opinion on what ppl thought would look good since im not artistic. i dont care who's done it already and who hasnt.
and besides i wouldnt be jocking anything, there's hundreds of thousands of tC's out there and im sure a crap ton of them have the same color black, gold, bronze, white or whatever color rims. at this point im sure just about everything has been done.

just a word of advice, if you choose white, it will be very difficult to keep clean... and on the SCM, darker colors will look better in general...
