47-55.1 What color should I paint my wheels?

[suburban99]

Bought these last summer for a good price but I don't like the tan color. What color would look good? Picture? Thanks

[unclebrad]

I'd probably repeat the body green on the wheels.

[joedoh]

oxblood/burgundy/maroon/brandywine. whatever you call it, thats what it should be. goes great with the stock green

[leegreen]

I'd consider red, maybe orange. something bright to contrast the green and patina.

having some matching color and shiny new paint sort of implies you chose the color but did not get around to painting the truck yet

[duramax55]

i think black semigloss would look good with the hub cap and ring

[mr48chev]

Well, they overpower the rest of the truck way too much now. Meaning that they turn the truck into their background rather than being a fully contributing component of the total look.

I rather like the idea of Forester green. Black would work too though.

[my56chevytruck]

how about painting them grey or gray??

Here's a few ideas. Not the greatest renderings but maybe a little help.

WOW. now I am really torn between burgundy and green.

[unclebrad]

I think these wheels are pretty close to the body color...

nice work 57tailgater, that gives a good idea of each color.


I like the tan, as I think a vehicle needs some 'bling' for wheels, especially a Patina truck.

I painted mine orange to compliment the logo, but I think they add some 'pop' , rather than black

It may be too close to your tan color, I'm voting for white. The old Oliver tractors were dark green with white wheels, I always loved the look.

White and the Dupli Color suggestion.

[Getter-Done]

Burgandy

[dsraven]

personally, I would do a satin sheen in a color you have on the truck, green or red oxide or whatever you wanna call the darker areas. but then I am not a patina guy so maybe not the guy to ask. lol.

Orange is opposite green on the color wheel. I'd use orange

Green looking great!

Like shiny wheels personally. Paint the spokes somewhat green, I would like.

[57tailgater]

I prefer shiny ones like these but they are out of my price range.

Such a great looking truck I don’t think you can go wrong in any direction. That said, I’ve always thought a little contrast was pretty cool. See a lot in nature, the red on the wing of a red wing black bird, the teal on the wing of a Teal, green head on a Drake Mallard.
Something with a little pop and show off those pretty cool spokes would be fine with me if you were not planning any contrast anywhere else like a pinstripe or company/family on door of the truck, etc..
