Possible wheel colors

So I got sick of studying for finals and decided to photoshop my wheels in some different colors. Now I know these are not normal colors for wheels but I am sick of seeing normal black, white, and gunmetal wheels so I want something different when I redo my car.

Wheels the way they are currently


Gunmetal, yes I said I was sick of it but had to try it


Gold


Teal


Green


Orange


Pink Chrome (Mad JDM Style)

by themselves the colored wheels look out of place, but if you got some vinyl decals put on that match the color of wheels you go with i think that'd you'd be on to something.

gold and CG do not mix IMO. I suggest red, which you didn't post.

The white Evo in team emotion (I think) had red volk te-37's for a while and they were super hot. I don't know if your RJ can even be painted or colored however, what would you do to get them colored?

you got the idea as that would be the plan but I cant really photoshop those on.

I think pink chrome with pink chrome decals outline in chrome or the same with teal would look good.

they are just raw aluminum that has never been clearcoated. I can either get them dipped in chrome and then color clear powerder coated to give it that color chrome look like the Teal and Pink JLine wheels bellow.

I dont want them to be painted. Whatever I do will be done as a color chrome look.

I don't know if it's just me, but, I always wanted a set of Rota P45F's with the Black and Red Lip combo on my car. Just a current wanting of what I want my car to look like. =) Try photoshopping that =D

I still think you crome goes really well with you car but if I had to pick one then gunmetal. I know..its boring and nothing new but that is the second best color for your car.

of those colors, i think teal looks the best (though it's not for me). i think you should try a photochop with COPPER rims

The colored wheels you see are all anodized. Chroming them then painting them will not give you the look you want. You're wheels will just look like regular painted wheels but be heavier and chip eventually.

All the colors look rice-a-roni if you ask me. The pink ones especially make me wish I was born without eyeballs. The idea of the black with the red lip is the only one with any potential. Black with a white lip might look good too.

Unless you've got a fully raced out setup, the TSX looks much better with an understated approach. It's strongest design point is its refined sportiness. If you take away the refined part it just looks like a weak attempt at making an unremarkable car into something it's not. If your going for a full blown sports car look, go hard or don't go at all.

CGP with a machined face and a gold plated lip would be nasty (in a good way) and it seems like you are willing to risk it.
