Repainting OEM wheels
I'm getting new tires soon, and when I do it I am going to repaint my OEM wheels with the tires off. I was going to get some opinions about what color to do them.


How the car currently sits:








Options:

1. Black
2. Body color (Monterey Blue Pearl)
3. Gunmetal
4. Other (specify)

Not like op doesn't know how to buy expensive name brand wheels. Everyone does, Most people paint their stockies to look at least little bit different until they're ready to buy a set of expensive wheels. Or they use it as winter set or track, autocross etc. a lot of reasons. To each their own I guess.

Wheels were already painted once and I didn't do a good job so it needs to be redone. I'm thinking if I want to repaint them black again or go another color.
