Should I paint my wheels red?

[nuttinnew]

After fitting the mk5 rear lights I think red works well with the Apricot so I'm pondering refurbing a spare set of wheels in red a la Porsche RS. What do you think and why?

[Speedlaw]

I voted black.

Apricot is yellowish, right? Red only works with white IMHO. Black works with more colors, but it's still not as easy as silver.

I voted black - but then I would

definetly black or could do a metal flake effect, black with red metal specs through it, could be neat!

[nuttinnew]

I did put 'white' on there as well...wonder where it's gone?

[cruisin_chris]

see like this mate, only red metal flake over black, this is a subaru from over here in ireland, we a little crazy with modified cars!

I've seen that Impreza in a few magazines - whilst not quite to my tastes its still an awesome stunning car

I voted black, I'm with Alex on this one - red wheels might be OK with white a la Porsche GT3 RS you mentioned. So its either black or clean and tidy silver (chrome if you want to burn money!).

Cheers

i think you need to follow The Cat's advice on this one -- but i cant remember what it was

(he was bleeding on his apricot suit one time however)

think it's got a better chance of working than black with that body colour IMO - but a light blue like that fading in from the edges on that pic would be better. sky blue and amber-ish colours go together right nice, and it would be pretty unique.

get the dulux colour match tester cards out first though, to be sure
