if you are doing the painting get a bunch of different colors and see which one you like the best. plastidip comes off very easy if you don't like it. i have seen green pink black white. ( not on a G tho). everyone has their own taste.

if you are not painting them ur self, you should its really easy.

I mean it already looks awesome but you may consider staying in the monochrome colors... Anything bright is fragrant, "I need attention."

Honestly it looks sexy as it is. I wouldn't change the colour.

thanks for all the replies guys, yeah i really wanted the 19" oem rays but theyre pretty expensive atm and summer is just about over so ill probably get them next year. id love to leave them the way they are now but the paint is peeling and there is pretty bad curb rash so im thinking maybe a little dark grey like gun metal or something. getting blue or black lug nuts today ill post a picture of those right away too
