Need Opinions on Color for wheels

[theMerchant]

So I am already thinking of redoing (not to my liking due to poor prep work) the rims I already painted. I was considering redoing them to a gloss black and re-apply the red pinstripe.
Do you think I should keep the graphite color or do you think the gloss black would look "better". Dave can you photochop some gloss black stockers for me?

I like the graphite, but the gloss black with the red pinstripe would be HOT! I was thinking of doing that to my stockers.

black, it would simply look better.

i would look like Bert j/k. IMO satin black (low gloss) looks like brake dust. unlike tomorrow , everyones opinion counts (electoral vs popular). thanks for your inputs ... keep them coming.

maybe I will just save for some 22s

Sand => Black primer => Graphite => Red Stripe => Matte Finish

The color you have them now is nice IMHO.
Just need to touch up a couple of spots and they're good in my book.

Satin is like semi gloss and looks awesome if done right. Bert did not do satin he did it in matte finish. But its your wheels so do what you feel is right for you.

The only reson I did not go with satin black was because of the extra 3 steps I needed to take in order to make it happen.

plus if it did not come out right I would of had to take it to a body shop and have them spray it for me.

I have a small compressor and I borrowed a pro spary gun to get the flat matt finish I wanted...

But IMO the satin black would look absolutely hot on you FX.... this might be my next mod... always good to have a spare of stock wheels... I don't have any more...

I think your wheels look fine, now. I saw your ride in person, at Costco, once, and really liked the look of the wheels. There were some rough spots, but if you could clean those up a bit, its all good!

I'd say gloss black. graphite looks like you haven't cleaned ur rims for a while.

 

[theMerchant]
