can't pick a color for my wheels

normally don't let other people pick for me but i really can't decide. the wheels really needed new paint so i sanded them down, and that's as far as i got. what do you think?


A) Repaint same color(they look a little light in this pic)



B) Black



C) Charcoal/Gunmetal

D) Sell them and buy something else

hahah awesome, one vote for each

JAM, you should have voted for #4 then! although the money i'd get for half sanded down rims would barely make a dent in the hood/paint cost haha

A slightly darker shade of grey IMO looks awesome.

i think the way they look now id be used to seeing them on a camaro because they are chevy rims, but if you tweak it a little bit it will set it off

I used the Duplicolor Graphite wheel paint on my SLP ZR1 wheels, they came out awesome IMO.



However, I think the all-silver wheels would look best on your car; not sure how I feel about the dark spokes on a dark-colored car. My Monte is white, so the graphite shows up well against it.
