What color should I paint my rims?
I just got my hubcaps and beauty rings but I'm stuck on what color to paint my rims. I'm going to get new tires and I think I'm going to stick with the white walls. I was thinking white, black, or the same color as my truck, which is like a charcoal gray. Please let me know what you guys think.
Check out my build page to see more pics of the truck

Re: What color should I paint my rims?
i would normally say white, but i think those caps and your truck's bod coloe lend themselves to black steelies.

Re: What color should I paint my rims?
Ask the guys in the photoshop forum to do some color chops for you. Post them back up here.
I voted Gray.

Re: What color should I paint my rims?
Actually, I think it screams for silver or maybe rally wheel argent.
Black too dark, same with body color, and white would just look out of place with the Charcoal Metallic.

Re: What color should I paint my rims?
Same grey or .... orange or red if you want to give a "racing look" to your truck. but if you choose that kind of color, you have to paint something red or orange on the body like pin striping or something else.
Black will be too dark and not sure that white will works

Re: What color should I paint my rims?
I think black would be nice or like Ole Blue said, the stock rallye color would be cool also.

Re: What color should I paint my rims?
I always like the steelies the same color as the truck. I vote gray.

Re: What color should I paint my rims?
I vote for black, although I do like DesertCat's recommendation also. I think the black would give it a more aggressive look, but the silver is also a good way to go.
