Refinishing Winter Wheels! -Suggestions Please!

Hi guys,

So Im getting ready to throw on my winter wheels again and am interested in refinishing my winter alloys. Last year I plastidipped the wheels in black and they held up very well. Well Im bored of the black and want to do something fun and unique.

I was thinking getting the spokes done in black and the rest of the wheel in red! Or possibly gloss bronze. I want something really out there.


Here are pictures of the wheels:

Please post suggestions on colour schemes/ finishes. I am open to anything!!

I would suggest you do go with a really bold colour scheme then since you want unique. especially with winter and snow, the black, silver, grey, maybe even bronze might not stand out enough for you.

that being said, i think the flipped combination of what you are thinking of... so, red spokes, black lip might be nice. I'm always a fan of yellow but not sure how it will apply... gold maybe?

btw I thought you were getting new wheels

Mint green may look cool

Also red is nice on a black car but your calipers are already red.
What about orange?
