I got a color called New Teal Powder Coat picked out. it's a metalic color. But that flat Teal looks real good as well. I'm still thinking about the color tho... i did want Lambo vibrand Green at first tho.
Go with the flat teal.

this is what I'm judging my colors from.
Flat teal

candy blue

candy teal

New Teal *** my choice for now

Lambo green *I guess

My buddy had a cobalt SS that was silver with anthracite wheels and neon green calipers. It looked good.

I plastidipped my wheels anthracite, I have a black V though, so it wouldn't look the same on a silver V. I wanted a change, but didn't want the black everyone had. Came out nice. Used the glossifier too.

I've got the blue spray paint that I have been waiting to put on my beat up track wheels.... (I've been wanting a beater car that I can spray paint whatever color I feel like, but may have to live with beater wheels for now) I'll see how long that last till i get tired of it and change to something else.

Since your car is silver, I've been lusting after ZR1 blue calipers on a silver car with hyperblack wheels. That blue is similar.

Looks good Nik, but I agree with Bud. Silver with Blue looks better than Black with Blue. Silver ZR1's with Black wheels look incredible!

I'm still trying to figure out what looks best with a Red V. Brembo Gold, or just stock silver look okay with black wheels, but what other colors would work?

I think an anthracite, smoked chrome, hyperblack, gunmetal, competition grey, etc would look better than black wheels on the silver.
