Need ideas for new rims colour

Hi everyone,

I just picked up a set of American Racing Sniper rims for my Yaris today for a smoking hot price.
(all the info here: http://www.americanracingwheelsinfo....ome_Sniper.htm; they are the 15x7 - 4x100 - +40 offset ones)

They need some refurbishing as you can see from the picture below, so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on a good colour for them. I have a Bayou Blue Metalic base paint. I'm hoping for something that would go well with it.

I'm not a fan of super flashy bright colors, i'd personally stay away from chartreuse, and i'd go with a bronze ish color. Looks classy

That's just my opinion, it's your Yaris so do what you feel you think looks best

How about flat gold with black lugs and centre cap?

I like everyone's ideas. I'm with tmontague though. Not a big fan of flashy colours like that.

If I want attention, i'll throw on some hubcap spinners and be done with it. lol

Here are some examples of other people's paint jobs:

Chrome


Black


Silver


Wonder how they'd look in bronze though...

Gold or bronze will look pretty good. White looks cool also on blue cars though you need to keep them clean always.
