I like all the choices but all black... IMO if they're all black, from further than 20 ft away they look like any ol set of steelies.

See my thread/poll on phone dial color. Some good pictures in there. I was thinking of gold too haha. Never did get around to painting them at all, just went ahead and bought twists

yes i know your thread , i also dont really like all black but considered it , then i thought that it could look cool in contrast with the red on the inside.
Too late to leave them silver ,already painted one white but i'm still considering very much black with red inner

Black with red inner would probably look sweet. Somebody needs to photoshop your options

I liked my dials in bronze with the crest painted up on the center cap. You could also do white with red on the dial holes.

Just bought a set of 16 inch early offset phones. They are already polished but I'll make them shine. But the blacked out center with polished lips is cool. It might look neat on my black car. Naaah. Polished.

Catalin,
Pearl White as used on Turbo Cup wheels would look nice.

Bright and flat white is what you want for a red car.
If you had anything else, you could have used that bright and flat orange.
