RIM Color?
So I picked up these rims a couple years ago and although I like the style I'm not big on the color. I want something that pops more. Ive been thinking about painting them but not really sure what color would help compliment the car more. I've thought about either a metallic silver (similar to the stock rays) or white. What do you guys think??

White. I have the OEM 18s on my 03 coupe and have been tossing around the idea of Plasti dipping them white. Same color G as you and I think it would look pretty good.

I think both of those choices you mentioned would continue to look kinda bland as do the current rims. If you're open to making a bold decision I think something like a copper or bright metallic blue would look awesome.

I really like the blue on silver look and have for a long time.

Ya that blue looks sick. My only issue right now is $. Trust me I would love to just buy new wheels but it's not in the budget right now. I considered painting them blue as well but I don't think it would look right with my rim style. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Without buying new rims this ^ is your best option! Painting your current rims blue would look fugly and make their resale value much less! Jersey's of painting them gunmetal could be done with rattle cans and not destroy your resale value!

Ya blue would look fugly I agree! What about white though? I'm really leaning towards it. I did a crappy photoshop job just to see and it actually didn't look that bad. I definitely need some more opinions though! Its not that I dont like the current color I think I just want a change, something to make the car look a little different.

Looks super sweet IMO in a darker gun metal color.

Gunmetal and stockers with DG even looks good
Keep it simple and subtle and the car will look much more professional and well done

I have a silver g35 and I just dropped off a set of rays to be powder coated evo grey/graphite grey. Should look pretty good.
