Quick, What Color should I do my wheels?!?!?!?!

OK, I finished polishing my back wheels, and I was going to repaint the parts I didn't polish, at first I was going to go with the gray color that's on there, but then I was thinking black to help contrast the polish. Any Opinions??

IMO the dark gray just looks like dirty silver. Go with black.

Definitely do NOT paint the inserts graphite and the "vein" in each spoke black... because thats what I'm doing

Nah, I don't care if you do it, I stole the idea from Jim85IROC anyways and I think it'll look good.

The grey is nice, but I think the black might look better.

You have to go with black man. That would look great as you said "to contrast with the polish" :rockon:
