Wheel color ideas

[danielburko]

I have to get the wheels either redone or powder coated.. so either I keep it them the color they are or go with a new color.

I have a few cars with black wheels and I just don’t know if they would look right on the car since it’s a dark color already.

So maybe gold? Black? Refinish then as they are or do a singer style wheel?

All ideas are welcome as I can’t seem to find anything in this color Schwartz metallic on the internet.

Thanks all

Do not touch a thing on that beautiful car.

Concur. Refinish if they need it (they don't look bad in that photo), but I say stick with the original/factory look.

Daniel, have you got spacers on on the back wheels, or are the 8"s?

in case you wanna go temporarly a different style, try plastidip.
has good colorragen and works like a charm!

I agree with others, the car looks awesome as it is.

small details: get a fresh exhaust tip, swap US rubber bumpers to EU (or delete)

Agreed. Stay as you are, it's damn hard to beat!!

Its such a tough call with the wheels, lol. I am a big outlaw fan and was leaning that way. I could posit dip them, but I have done that too and its NOT as easy as some say to get it off...

I already changed the exhaust tip. I would love to delete the rubber bumpers actually. But whats that going to entail? I just had the rockers resprayed and those rubbers I put back on the car, so how would that look.

Yes the PO had 1" spacers in the rear, there were not any problems so I just left them.

Europeans often hate the bumpers on US cars. I can tell you those large rubber bumpers saved my 911 from bumper damage. A mid 1980s Chevelle rolled backwards into my front bumpers at a car show. It was a low speed bump, but there was zero damage even though my car was pushed a foot or more.

I agree with the first statement. 911 are almost ok but Lamborghini Countachs...

My SC ROW was intentionally parked in by a Ford Mondeo. I saw it was a manual transmission with the handbrake on, so I just reversed and pushed it backwards so I could drive out. It demolished the Mondeo's bumper and the 911 was fine thanks to the rubber.
