Default Bright Color Wheels

Guys I have a black Z28 and I am looking to change up the wheels, currently im runnign some old LG world challenge wheels. And Im looking for something a little different without being too expensive as the body work, interior, and new engine are soaking up lots of funds.

The car is solid black, and Im thinking about running C4 ZR1s, C5 DD Y2K, or C5 Z06 wheels. I know that doesnt sound different but I want to have them powdercoated in a differnt color.

I was thinking Bronze, a bright orange, a light blue, or a bright green.
I think the bronze would look good, and i think the others could go either way.
Ive seen it on high end exotics and luxury cars and imports but never on a late model domestic.

How do you think it would look?
Anyone care to try and photoshop it for me? I have a picture request thread in the LT1 section with a few pictures that you could try and chop.

Thanks

Personally I hate the fad and think it's very "ricey". I hated it back when honda kids did it, and I hate that now so many wanna be rally kids in subarus are doing it.

But to each his own

i love it but not so much for our late model cars too me it doesnt really flow well. Like when i look at that 240sx in the last pic im kind of 50/50 on the look, but then again you never know til you try. how about u get a few photoshop pics of your car with the different color wheels.

I think I'm too old for those wheels. I guess I'll just stay with my plain chrome ones.

I agree with the above about the gold color looking nice. I have not seen the bronze color in person so no comment but "might" have posibilities. The other colors look "rice" as has been said.

I think a gold or bronze metallic would look good.
