Paint wheels?


Should I paint my stock wheels black and paint the calipers red? If so, do you know the best way to paint the wheels?

I always liked the 00 gold.. is it sunburst gold or something like that isnt it?. Refresh my memory. very rare mustang color. I think the red calliper are a must for a gold car...Im not a fan of black wheels on your color car-I might do black rims on a black car-but doubt that too (i like to see the detail in the spokes.

I mocked it up quickly for you to see. Hope it helps.

Maybe paint black and brighten up with spinner caps....dont worry these stop spinning when your car does. classic retro look. Its going to get tougher too decide asking opinions in here and that is all they are... a lot like black and a lot dont. It definetly wont look bad- Painting black is a good way to delete your rims if you beleive they are ugly and wish to make your callipers and rotors the star. good luck

I was goofing off in photoshop one day and did this mock-up to my Cobra. I thought you might like the wheels-gold and chrome along with red callipers.

I think with that color car, black Saleens would look the best. If you still painted the calipers red they would be much easier to see. Regardless of what you do those wheels are kind of plain jane.
Black Sallen 18x9

These may look even better. Blach chrome 18x9 Saleens

These will give you the same red calipers I have
