Since the bodyshop is working on my Galant they are going to refinish my wheels too

but summer is coming I'm thinking of giving them my summer rims for refinish as well if the 15" are repaired with much success... Here is a collage of colors. The car will stay grey because it's a repair job not a paint job so what color goes well with it?

I thought RS is as good a place as anywhere since the demographic here is complex and people come from many car culture backgrounds. I don't really have a preference it's just that to refinish the rims they'll have to paint it...whatever color I want.

depends if you want to stand out or not. Black or grey for subtle, red if you want to stand out. You could always polish the unpainted part of the rim as well

You should have made a poll so we can vote and they you choose what the majority of RS wants!

I like the red, but i feel that it will loss its novelty after awhile (along with the other stand out colors)...black, grey, bronze or even white i quite enjoy and i feel the "look" may last awhile.

Btw, i like your car!

I tried that but I don't know how to add a poll to the thread....I don't think a poll is available anymore.

this is so going to hall of shame. But then this sure makes onlookers chuckle.... I think if a car can make people happy just by being there, it's a splendid thing.

i like the teal. seems to go well with the gray.

if it's custom, and you don't care, go crazy and pick something nobody else has.

would this be very difficult to understand? My friend was saying that nobody would understand the meaning of the 2 snails in there.

None of the above, silver looked the best, they're ugly rims and by painting them any other colour you're just going to draw attention to them.

^ you have ugly rims that didn't stop you from painting them orange....

You guys have to be kidding me? Making your rims any colour that isn't neutral(black, white, silver) just looks retarded...
