What color to paint some Autocross wheels?
Got some tires coming for autocross tires. I have some scuffed up phonies. Thinking about shooting a quick color on them but IDK what.... So far Dave has suggested pink and my mom has suggested yellow? Its a red car. What say ye...

Not the wheels in question but they are identical to those...

Gunmetal grey would look good.



But if you wanna try something different, go with a dull gold like the wheels on this '71 312PB.

Dark Grey works for me, but mostly because I was too lazy to repaint them when I got the wheels.

Give someone a titty twister, photograph the resultant bruise, bring it to Lowes and have them match it.

Bright lime green. Aguy in our club had a red RS America that raced with that color combo. It was unmistakable.

I vote pink. If you're gonna ask a question like that on a forum like this, I'm voting pink.

You're going to paint lips on the wheels? Rolling Stones style?
