Default got some new wheels

but i dont plan to roll with them yet cuz i plan to re-paint the whole car.
in your opinion, what do guys think is a good color to match these wheels?
and yeah, i am going with the V.I.P. look so this is part of my project and of course body kit is included which i can't reveal yet. it will be a surprise !!!

i was thinking of a color change into platinum silver, or maybe black onyx or even pearl white. give me some options guys. need your help on this.

tks

sweet wheels

I vote for keeping the original color. I'm not sure if u dislike Navy Blue but it's a pretty rare color and it'd be something different than a Black or White VIP'ed 1st Gen.

But if you are going for the true VIP look, u gotta go Black.

I love the Blue, don't see many of those.

If it's between Black or White, then I would have to vote for Black. You're previous 1st Gen was white, right?

i am not really a fan of this blue color, to be honest. i just bought the car cuz it was cheap. the car will hit the body shop this wknd and hoping to get it done in 3 weeks. still deciding what color i should paint it. i suppose i will just have to surprise you guys....hehhe......
trust me, this will be a very rare 1st gen gs ( i hope ) after the mods.
