Photoshop - suggestions on wheel colours

**Valleybull** · 10-28-2008, 10:28 PM

My 22" Boss 329 rims have chrome peeling in fairly big chunks, so it looks like I'll have to do something to fix them up. There aren't any places to have the rechromed in the Atlantic Provinces, so it was suggested to me that powder coating might be the best solution.

I'm not a fan of the black on black look, and am thinking that a vibrant colour might look sharp, different at least. If you have any colour suggestions and potentially photoshoped pics, I'd appreciate it.

You gotta be careful with black as a major component. Anything but black or chrome will, in my opionion, look "off".

The only thing you can get away with on a black car (IMO) other than black or polished/chrome would be Competition Grey. On the other hand, if you had some color graphics or racing stripes on the car you could tie them in with the wheel.

Sell them to me, I'll even drive down and pick them up, then you can get new ones.

Or at least a pin stripe.

I actually spoke to a powdercoater today and was looking at a metalic orange that I thought might look pretty good. It was pretty close to HEMI orange. Thanks for the photoshop.
