Looking to change up wheel color, input needed!
As the title states, I'm looking to change up the color of my wheels. I think the black/chrome finish I currently have doesn't provide enough contrast to the body color.
I was thinking either teal or mag blue More leaning towards mag blue because I think teal will look better with mesh wheels. Another option is to leave the wheels the color they are currently. Any input is greatly appreciated.![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

I like them the way they are, looks great. However, if you must change I would make sure to see what teal or mag blue would look like on the car before purchasing it. I think what offers the most contrast on this color would be a hyper silver wheel.

Dude, I'd just stick with what you've got. You have that cool mono-chromatic look going.

I love the colour of your rims, but if you want I can always photoshop something up...

Thanks for the input guys. Looks like everyone is voting to keep the current setup. I guess I'll just get another set of wheels if I get too bored ![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)

I'm gonna go against the grain. I was contemplating powder coating or painting mine jasper green pearl, the color of my last car.

However I've decided against it, but I might go with green calipers and lug nuts.

the thing is that the whol e car color looks very neutral, and unless you dont use bright colors you wont see a difference. For example a good combination would have been keepin g the tail lights red with black and have the wheels red. In your cae i would stick with the way you have it now. it looks very good. If you change the wheels color youll have to change the color of something else to contrast it.

I'd keep it the way it is. No need to fix what isn't broken!
