What color should I paint my wheels? - Toyota Yaris Forums

mick.wheelz · 06-28-2010, 12:38 AM

I Currently have 16x7 +38 Work Emotion CR-Kai copies on my yaris, they are black in color.

I don't think the black suits the car (see pics) so I was thinking maybe a bronze color... what does everyone else think, if anyone is good with PS feel free to have a go at it...

I picked my wheel color by going to a local paint shop and going through their color books for like 2 hours until I found one I liked. It's some 2008 Volvo color I can't remember, but it's a dark charcoal grey with blue flake in it and I Love It!! most custom paint shops with have about 16 tons worth of these books and you can put the paint chips up to your body color to find a combo that you like. IMO its important to find something that plays well with the body color.

Ok mick, when you paint them make sure the color has metalic dust so it can match your paint, meaning your is a metalic blue, so if its white is color you want check for the color match to a white Yaris it also has that metalic look, hope everything goes well, ready to see the out come, holla my dude or should I say mate. Good luck.

Yeah, I would like to use something with either blue fleck through it, failing that, the metallic white from a yaris... + a nice hard clear coat.

big lo · 07-01-2010, 12:34 AM

With the blue flakes or dust they use for the mix, thats going to look awesome. Please send pics when your done with the project. Holla at me mate.

SilverBack · 07-01-2010, 12:53 AM

I might get flamed for expressing an independent thought, but I would go for blue spokes with white hub and lip. You know, just to be different.

SilverBack, I think thats an awesome idea that would look cool too, but the decision is not ours its the owners, this is what its all about learning from one another, taking an idea and making our own upgrades to better the idea, so if you are looking to be flamed go to BK cuz, we are here to express ourselves without shame nor embarrasment. So holla my dude. Its all good.

SilverBack · 07-01-2010, 01:15 AM

I respect whatever decision the OP makes, but I was just saying what I would do if in his situation and could afford to make the change. No harm done
