Exclamation WDP with stockie rims.. paint rims?

i cant really afford any new rims so imma spray my rims but im having trouble deciding which color

my first choice was to color match it with my WDP
but..

i do sort of wanna stand out..
i photoshopped a whole bunch of colors and im not sure.

i like it white. i like it amber red like the tail lights.
i also like it blue or purple. and golden bronze doesnt look too bad....

any suggestions as to what color?

Want it to stand out, paint them pink. Saw a black VW yesterday with pink spoke wheels. It stood out alright!

if you paint it white, all the brake dust is not gonna look good. you gotta wash them rims everyday to keep it look nice.

You don't have to paint 'em. Keep them the way they are.

I think white looks best.

Black looks good but for me just makes the car kinda look dingy.

Guess its just what your feeling though. Just make sure you take your time prepping the wheels and get quality paints.

I can't lie, I really like the baby blue.

If not that color, then do gunmetal.

White... White looks aggressive and clean at the same time, plus it stands out more...

i wouldnt base your choice off those photoshops, they will not turn out looking like that.

white wheels will be very hard to keep clean, but it's all up to what you like, i personally wouldn't do black on any car, reminds me of lost hubcaps

pick a color imo, not white, not black. i think the best look for our stock wheels is a darker gray, gunmetal, etc

Black looks killer on WDP! But pink and green also look pretty sick!
