So, no luck w selling the stock Pro5 Wheels. Leaves me with one choice, make them look better, haha.

Any ideas on paint schemes/colors?

I was thinking..

1) how would ALL WHITE LOOK?
2) Gold/Bronze w [Blue] Lip ?
3) Black??

4) need more ideas plz!

PLEASE POST PICS!

ALL IDEAS WELCOME:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TALLY: [updated]

A) gold/bronze w/o lip [ II ]
B) graphite [ II ]
C) black w/white lip [ I ]
D) graphite w/ silver lip & center-cap [ I ]

This is what my car looks like almost identical, just on stock susp., not lowered...yet ;]

-Thank You !

Nah, no lip on anything that isnt black, silver, or white. Go for dark bronze or black with silver lip?

Man that red/bronze combo looks good. I've been thinking of powdercoating mine, mind if I ask what you used for the bronze color? Also, what products were used on your detail job? The reflection is amazing (on my Android anyway) and it looks really wet.

Sorry, don't mean the hijack the thread.

I used Dupli-color wheel paint on my play toy's wheels with great results. The color is graphite.

Paint the wheels on the driver's side one color, and the wheels on the passenger side a different color. You get two different looks in one car!
