Help me choose a color for my rally wheels

I'm poor and there is no way I'm gonna be sporting some fancy hoops in the next 80 years or so, so I figured I'd pull my rallys off and give them a powdercoat facelift.



I'm thinking about the following three choices:

1) argent silver with clear and turn the white letters outside.
2) white with the white letters out.
3) charcoal grey with clear and white letters out.

I have plenty of all three powders on hand, so it won't cost me a thing to do this.

What say you ?

Re: Help me choose a color for my rally wheels

Are you going the red oxide or white paint?

Re: Help me choose a color for my rally wheels

I never really planned on painting the thing. I figure as I do modifications and repair I will spot it in with white primer at best.

Re: Help me choose a color for my rally wheels

If I may throw my $.02 in, I wouldn't add any wild colors to the wheels unless you white primer the bed asap. That's why I'd suggest playing it safe with the argent.

Re: Help me choose a color for my rally wheels

I would go with Charcoal Gray but leave the white letters in. The argent color would be my next choice. They dont look bad the way they sit now

Re: Help me choose a color for my rally wheels

I said Charcoal, but I really dig flat black or low gloss black and no rings, but Black is my "thing"??

High gloss black. No trim rings/center caps. Just chrome lug nuts.

Re: Help me choose a color for my rally wheels

you can't go wrong with the silver.... honestly, even though i didn't care for this color at first, it has grown on me quite a bit... I don't know if you can mix your poweders and get an even shade or not... the slightly darker color helps the stainless ring, and center cap/knock offs 'pop' out... like my out of focus wheel here.
