In the very very near future my tour will have these wheels on it



And my tour is this color



I was thinking of painting the wheels gun metal like this



Or may be gold. I cant decide what do you all think. Leave them Paint them Gun metal or gold.

Sorry for all the pics but i thought visuals would be really helpful.

I say paint them gunmetal...do not do gold because it will not match your car and they look to plain silver like that...

I agree with Steve. Gunmetal wouldn't be a bad idea at all...But why aren't the center caps on those wheels?

Well cause the factory caps are ugly. they cover the lugnuts and evrything. I have some small center caps ordered for just the tower and of course chrome lugs. With the small center caps and chrome lugs they look like aftermarket wheels.

Any way thanks for the advice that basically confirms what i was leanning toward anyway.

WRX bronze would go very well w/ the gold color on your car IMO...sort of a competition look Someone on here(Dion?) did that to their t-red tour & looks really good. Lose the chrome strips or even paint them bronze as well. $.02
