Definitely something different, however it seems that CWP pulls off colors like that better.

not yellow

yeah, i was gonna say it might look better on a different color car. the red and purple are clashing big time!

Precisely my thoughts. Not that the wheel color is inherently unappealing- just that it clashes with the body color. As my Dad loves to say... "Now, that's Italian!"*

*No offense to persons of Italian heritage is intended.

Looks like you did a good job painting them but the color would prob. look better on white like other said or even black.

Have you considered using traditional colors?

Sometimes, different is good.

But sometimes, different is horrible.

Stay tuned.


Fail. I can not for the life of me get a decent picture of these damn wheels. They went on today and I cleaned the car somewhat. It looks amazing in person but I've taken pics with 2 different cameras and all the shots are way blown out and it makes the wheels look very dark. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some better light. Sorry guys.

This is the only pic that even come close and it still sucks.

Ok. Huge thanks to LaraW because she took the shots I made that were horrible and made them presentable! They still don't pop quite as much as they do in person but I think that's just the nature of the finish. I promise I'm going to get some decent pics one of these days. Hopefully at EECMM.

I don't find anything wrong with the wheel color itself, but against the True Red it just doesn't work out.
