Track Fuchs paint schemes?

[ZOA NOM]

I just lucked into a set of Fuchs I'll be using for the track, and I wanna see some paint/powdercoat/anodize schemes for ideas. I've searched through a lot of pics, but weeding through to find track pics is a PITA. So far, I'm leaning towards all black. I really like the look. Show me what you got.

WTF? Nothing?

I think black wheels look great, but with a polished or contrast (red!) painted lip.

black looks bad a$$!

I like anodized lip and paddles not polished and body color around the paddles.

Needs some contrast.

If your going to paint them black, they might as well be cookie cutters since you can't see them. Sorry, I use my fuchs for the streets and Fikse' for the track

All black is a period correct race wheel...I think they look awesome that way. You can probably have all 4 sandblasted and powdercoated for about $200.

Here's my buddy's car (with the new Rennsport Systems logo I just designed) with all black powdercoated wheels.



I think that look is awesome. He went so far as to keep the front caps silver like they had them in the "old days". It has since been lowered to a more aggressive stance in the front.

Back in the day, I used the same color for my racing number and my Fuchs centers -- something approximating Signal Yellow.

I like the all black

[ZOA NOM]

OK, the last one finalized it for me. All black it is.

[shamrockcustoms]

How about one more...

[JBO]

All black looks awful...but that's just my opinion

[Noah930]

Not a fan of the blacked out look, either. It's too dark. Except on 89911's white car--the contrast of the polished rim edge looks sharp.

For your car, Zoanas, consider painting the Fuch centers in Venetian Blue, also. I think that adds a subtle but classy look. Might not show up in pics so well, but in person it's a very nice touch.

[nixter]

Yeah, All black looks like you're running on spares IMHO.

Period correct,bling is for rice!

[ZOA NOM]

Lotsa good stuf, but remember, this is for the track. I like the look of the venetian blue petals for my street wheels, tho.

color is Duplicolor "cast iron" engine enamel

I went for the matching with the numbers sceme as well.

The yellow is John Deere Yellow that closely matches the magnetic numbers. I also put a red pinstripe between the polished lip and the yellow which you can't really see in the pic. The vinyl pinstripe held up surprisingly well.


Here's my old Rial wheels that originally came with gold centers. Again, I used the red pinstripe between the black and yellow.
