compression Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Car: 2005 legacy sedan Color: Dark blue (dont know official name) I just bought a set of LGT OEM 17" wheels, just like these\/ http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k444/BoxRacing/SubaruWRX%20Items%20FS/DSC_1560.jpg The ones I got need to be refinished, so my question is what color should I paint these wheels? I have narrowed it down to two options: Dark bronze, or gunmetal/graphite. Either one, I will do a high quality finish and it will come out nice. Here is the car with the old 16" wheels (not painting these, they will become snow wheels). http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/5614/uqoj.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 If you insist on painting them, go with gun-metal, or hyperblack. Both dark colours look good on Regal Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soloz2 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 gunmetal looks good IMHO. Gold looks good too! I'm seriously considering bright green for this winter though... http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb393/soloz210/IMG_0790.jpg Current: 16 Crosstrek Premium w/ Eyesight & 05 Outback XT 5MT Past Subies: 14 FXT Premium, 14 WRX hatch, 06 Legacy 2.5i SE 5MT, 98 Outback wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compression Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 After seeing a navy blue E46 M3 with gunmetal wheels last week, that made up my mind. We are going gunmetal. One wheel done, three more to go. http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/7856/tp0f.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
