View Full Version : Need the hatch's opinion! Wheel color

Alright as a few of you know the guy who mounted my tires on my most recent set of wheels made a mistake.. He chipped the finish in two spots on two wheels..
I was upset especially because I've referred many people there and had good experiences in the past. He told me to drop the wheels off and he'll have them refinished.

Only problem is this hyper black finish will not match the other two. I've seen it happen and I'm not okay with it.

But after putting some miles on them I've realized this finish sucks.. Its chipping all over from rocks. Its the same finish and manufacturer as my last set, which he mounted tires on perfectly, and never chipped the whole life of them..


So I'm taking him up on his offer to refinish them, but I want to do all 4 in a completely new color.


What do you guys think I should go with?



And for pics, obviously

So far I've thought of teal, gold, white, and mag blue.. Open to other suggestions



Maybe even an anodized type purple?

I like the idea of white, teal, or maybe a dark bronze.

Flat white?

I'm up in the air on whether it'd be a gloss or matte white, but bronze doesn't do it for me. I had the option to get them bronze new and I didn't like how they looked. There is a soob by my job with them in bronze and they look brown. Vom.

White would look dope. How about milano red? LOL

Anything dark or anything bright works well with black so you're lucky.

I'm not sure, I found that on either stance: nation or wrong fitment crew. You could try to look around for the owner
