Default Pics of painted wheels please

Please post your pics of painted wheels, any wheels.

I am going to have my CCW C-14 anodized wheels painted.
They were "cleaned" by a shop I had the car at that put wheel cleaner on them. I was not aware they would do this but that is another story....

They totally etched all four and they are a mess.
Already talked to John at CCW and the wheels will be shipped to him for painting. He says they will be very durable and I know they will be done right.

My car is artic silver.
I am leaning towards a dark gray.

Any pics appreciated. They will be one color.

I had the same situation occur to me. CCWs ruined by a Dealership... I opted to paint them on my own with Duplicolor wheel coating. In my case it was easy to do as the wheels were originally shotpeened rather than anodized.

Wheels turned out pretty good.

Dark grey on arctic Silver looks nice IMO...

SH,
Great post link. Lots of good wheel pics and info. Good discussion of painted vs powder coat.
Mine are going out to CCW pretty soon. I have a few more days to decide.
Still leaning towards an anthracite or titanium gray, or maybe somethig darker that approaches some of the carbon fiber shades I've seen.
I have pretty much ruled out silver, black and red and keep coming back to a shade of gray.
Thanks for the help guys.

Go for satin black, not gloss. That's the best option i think for a silver car.
