Picked up some wheels, what color should I go with?

Post by suspiciouspackage »

I picked these wheels/tires up on Craigslist today for dirt cheap. I got them to replace my steelie stock rims. I'm going to paint them before I put them on. What color would you go with? I can't decide between hyper black, basic aluminum silver or black.

Nice wheels! If you paint them black, remember to get black lugs as well!!!

Go with basic aluminum or a gunmetal color (like what they are now). They'd look in that color.

Well crap. I went to meet the guy last night and the wheels were all messed up. Curb rash, mismatched tires, spraypainted two different colors, etc... Did he think I wouldn't actually look at them when I showed up to buy them? ~sigh~

That sucks. Did you still buy them or no?

I did not buy them. I told him that I wasn't going to put money in to wheels that were in that condition.
