Default I'm in need of assistance

Alright, I'm not sure where this thread should be placed, but I would like ideas on what color I should paint my stock rims. I have an SW TC. And I have been bouncing from so many colors every day. So any help would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks

Hmm... That could take some time...and money.
All I know is some kid has a SW with powder coated black rims on his where I live. So I won't do that, what do you guys think about white?... Or is that too Honda Type R style?

Photoshop or plasti-dip only two options

Plasti-dip is pretty inexpensive if you consider the choices. Flat Black base then whatever color of paint you want to try out.... versus the cost of 4 rims, hating the color a month later and trying to resell them.

Photoshop may work, I just need to find someone who could help me out with that...
True Scratch, plasti-dip is fairly cheap. But I was hoping I could see what colors people tend to like more then others. My first choices were gold, white, black, kawasaki green, bright orange, maybe even a bright blue. But I may just do gold since it looks so good on SW.

Bronze or gold always classy. You don't want white rims then you'd be a loser like Irishguy haha

Alright, thanks KidJustin.

And I'm open to ideas, I know everyone can shine on some light on what to and what not to do.

^host it online (photobucket, imageshack, flickr, etc.) then use the 'insert image' button and just paste the direct-link of image.

Very thorough, 202, but I'm with donsun. I switched to photobucket shortly after starting my build thread. Once you sign up, there's a green button at the top that says "upload" then just click the IMG link (copies the link automatically) and paste.

Haha im with you too. If you quote my post you'll see the pics are from photobucket. I just showed the SL photo uploader since it did not require any registration

Hmm... I guess any color I may have mentioned. Perhaps any idea you may have.

Oh, and what do you think about me having yellow lamin-x over my headlights?... Or is that too much?
