What color should I paint these old skool wheels?

[newagedrift]

Ive got this set of Hayashi Racing 503 (Perrier) Meshies that I need to refinish. Im not sure what color I should paint them. I was thinking black but then I saw some pics of silver ones that looked sexy as hell. I also saw some pics of gold SSR meshies that looked good too. What color do you guys think I should go with,Ill probably just sell the wheels when Im finished with them so Im not really trying to match them to any particular car.

Heres some pics of what they look like for reference

*these are not my pics, just pics of them I found on the net

It all depends on the color of the car tbh. Silver is easiest to paint over, so id say if you were just painting to sell.

Silver.

Simple, easy, and looks good 95% of the time.

[burnsauto]

yeah keep the lips polished, clear them...and like crimsonrockett suggested, silver. It usually matches any car you put them on, and always looks clean. :)

+1 for silver.

Black wheels are hideous in my opinion.

yup what he said not all black wheels are hideous but most are

[drift freaq]

Black is very car color specific. I.E. looks great with some colors but not all. I would stay Silver its pretty damn universal.

[newagedrift]

yeah i was kinda leaning toward silver

[usajdm]

Hayashi Perrier's are bada$$ when fully polished.
One of the easier mesh rims to do this too.
I'd go full polish.

[HS13KLS]

i dont like black wheels.
so anything but that.
maybe white :)

[newagedrift]

If I was keeping the rims then Id look into polishing, but I need to get rid of these fairly quickly, plus Ill be going 5-lug soon. Im pretty sure that Im just going to paint them silver and call it a day.

Thanks for the suggestions

[newagedrift]

My car is red, but....
*taken from my original post* - "Ill probably just sell the wheels when Im finished with them so Im not really trying to match them to any particular car."

[r6_240sx]

Fuck, I fail at reading, my bad.

Anyways, polish them or paint silver! Can't go wrong with that.

[undesiredshoe]

Paint it all flat black....works with almost all colors

[Leo-kun]

Silver.

JR also has a good point too! Surprisingly Messhies look good in crazy colors.

That black will make those look cheap though since the lip isn't cuvey like a thick woman....

[IIIXziuR]

Silver or Gold would look best.
I would just not use any zany Neon Colours on them.

[Dirty Habit]

Silver or perhaps a gun metal..

[Couped_up'd]

Sectra master red. Nason.
