Default wheel color
So I'm sending a set of 17x9.5's and 17x11's off to get powdercoated. Now question is what color? Black is NOT an option....I don't like black wheels. Car is a 93Z Green Grey Metallic. I'm thinkin gunmetal but it seems too played out. Any opinions?


not my car but same color....unfortunately I can't find any of mine on this computer....lol

My friend had a 94 that color. We tried a few different wheels on it, the silver ones always looked best IMO.

well, I dropped them off today.....Went with a color called Ebony Chrome. I'll post some pics up when I get the wheels back hopefully this weekend. I didn't do body color cause I didn't want them to blend in totally. This color should bring out more of the green in the paint while not drowning it out. Now I just gotta get some rubber for them.....

I personally believe chrome looks best with that color. My GXP is a very similar color called Stealth Gray Metallic.
