      What color should I paint my wheels?

      Here are my new wheels......I know, pretty impressive. they have some dings and scratches so I am thinking of painting them, what color should I paint them? Bronze, Gold, Silver, Black, Gun Metal or just leave 'em.

      Edit* And for those who say just leave them I may want to clarify. The center caps are painted blue by the previous owner, and there are more dings and scratches than that picture shows. Im my mind I almost need to choose to paint them.

      I still have the steel wheels for now and painted the wheel covers gloss black and they look good. When I get the money, I am going to buy some 14" alloy rims and have them powder coated black.

      Comon guys, this topic has numerous views but only two votes, if you view the topic at least vote, I really do want to know what other Aveo owners think would look good.

      I've painted rims before with good results, just didn't tape it off exactly right. We painted some cheap road rashed rims silver and did black on the spokes. I'd recommend Gun Metal with a few coats of sealer/clear coat made specifically for rims.

      Well, that isnt my actual car, although it looks exactly the same. Since I got it off the lot I have installed a new deck, wired it and installed an amp and subs, and replaced all the factory speakers.....so a new sound system basically. I also have new hubcaps.....I have been thinking of tinting all the back windows.

      IMO tinting and rims are probably the easiest mods to the exterior to improve the look. but you have to be careful..The key word is IMPROVE.
