Smile Picture Request! PAINTED OEM staggered 19"

howdy howdy

i really want to paint my OEM 19" staggered rims (to hold over until i can afford a new set of volks ) but i'm having a hard time deciding what color to paint them. i've got a '05 OB coupe. i was thinking gloss black with a bronze lip pinstripe? just an idea really...

anyone got any suggestions?

thanks,
jess

that was one of my other color options too. it looks really good. so you dont think gloss black would look ok?

agreed gunmetal is classy/sporty at the same time. you can go gold or bronze if you want to be different. all black can just be bland sometimes.

ya the bronze doesnt flow well on these wheels on a black car. so a darker gunmetal may be my choice. so my idea in a colored pinstripe is a no-go?

maybe the bronze wheels would've gone better with a silver/polished lip for a OB g.

When I get home I will try to chop it for you, unless someone else has already done it by then.

Not feelin' gold OEM 19's, with or w/out polished lip, on a black coupe.
