Turbo fin wheels.. to paint back oem or to paint black...
Hey everyone..
I've been thinking about painting my turbo fin wheels on my Recaro... so I primered one wheel and decided to shoot it with a bit of black paint to see what it would look like instead of painting them back gold like they came from the factory... the car is Black with the gold two tone... Wifey thinks they need to go back Gold.. whats your opinion...

I vote for gold, to match the ground effects. Then again, my wheels are gold, so I am biased :P Post a pic of the car, I'm sure someone can photoshop it both ways.

Thanks for the feedback guys... Looks like I'm going back to Gold on the wheels... I'll post a picture of the fresh paint in a month or so...
