What Wheel Color would you choose?
Sometime in the next week or so, I'll get the car off the jackstands. I picked up a set of Cup II track wheels with MPSC's. They are a little dinged up (like good track wheels should be), but fine for my purposes.
I'm thinking of doing a quick job of painting the spokes to take some of the shine off the wheels. Here are my options:
Original Shot:
Lowered with Photoshop:
With solid black wheels:
With just the spokes (better for mounting/demounting tires too):
And with a dark gray spoke:
What do you think?

I must say that I like the normal silver - it's the spoke pattern which sets off the car (IMHO). But, with grey I'd do the polished lip as it seems to define the wheel a little better.
But regardless, if you like it you can't go wrong

It sounds like you want to do something other than "leave them alone."
My choice: Paint them your favorite color. Think of the early white RS cars with the spokes painted red or blue or green. I think that's a great look for a white car.
Second choice I like the gray spokes.

Thanks for the votes and feedback. In this iteration, I won't be polishing the rims, just leaving them in chipped up silver (track wheels). But since it is hard to mask a straight line right at the rim edge, I was going (as close as I could photochop) to have the rims/edge/flat in silver, spokes in gray or black.
Will this still look as good?

Grey or black is up to you--grey is a bit more original.

I have been toying with doing the same thing. I was thinking either white or grey center for mine as well. Although, I really like the blue or red scheme. Are there any other colors to tie into? What color will your number be?
