Wheel center madness!!!
I am putting these on Papa Smurf. Just messing around and wondering if I should leave them silver:
![]() Go Orange: ![]() Or possibly Gulf Blue: ![]() Silver is bolt on....I have the Gulf Blue paint.....Orange I would have to color match.....Fuchs at this time are not an option......Discuss. I realize my photo editing skills are somewhat lacking...... ![]()

Black would be the right and safe choice.

Orange! My old car would have looked great with that style of wheel in all gloss black, but then my car was black. On yours, definitely orange, not blue.

![]() By all black do you mean lips, backspace and all? Dan, I disagree. I think Orange would be much safer! ![]()

Here's some better representations, along with black...
![]() ![]() ![]() I like the black, although the blue is not bad. I'd say there's not enough orange in the car to balance it out. Jim

Ohhhhh much better! Thanks Jim. I think black looks good too.......
The Orange is an attempt to mimick the Carrera RS. Door script same as wheel centers.

I say orange or silver. Can't go wrong with silver. However, black looks good too, but I'm not a big fan of body colored centers (blue in this case).

Black with just the lips polished, just the outer lip. WAIT! Is that safe? Won't black cause your brakes to overheat...black soaks up heat from the sun right? Oh I feel so sorry for you Hammer...you are going to hurt someone. Please stop this insanity!

Hey Shawn, Think of what all that heavy paint would do to your un-sprung weight!
