Iroc Rim Accents

I'm going to be getting my rims sand blasted and possibly powder coated if it's not THAT expensive but i'm having a hard time deciding how dark i want to make the accents. I did a little photoshopping, let me know which you like best.


#1 How it is now


#2 Dark Gray


#3 Black

i just did mine this winter with black and i like it alot better. Id say eather dark gunmetal grey or black.
if you want you can see my cardomain page theres 2 winter pics there showing after the black paint added the rest are just the factory silver. But with the dark lighting on the silver it looks like black on some pics and that still looks good.

I went from gold to black..............

One of the best mods I have done as far as appearance goes. Well, except for the SS hood.

Well, you COULD possibly go the OTHER way like I did and go with a lighter grey than the original. I have had tons of compliments on my rims since I did them. I think they are going to look great with the new candy apple red paint!

Don't go black on a silver car. Add a smoother color. Check my gunmetal wheels out:

They'd look GREAT on that color!

here is a picture of my brothers Metallic Charcoal Iroc Wheels. From a distance, they look really dark...almost black...when you get closer...they have a little tint of grey..and when the sun hit's them...they twinkle because they are metallic....it's a good touch
