Re: Color options for old rims

That medium dark grey wheel color might look good on a 92 claret with grey interior. It would match the grey leather, but not be so much of a hole in the bodywork, as black wheels tend to be. a Claret/Black with gray interior is not asking for anything too bright in the wheel wells.

But WOW, I would be pissed if someone painted the roof and trunk lid top with that stuff.

I tend not to like wheels that are deeper black than the tires on them, and tires never stay shiny black for all that long.
