Default New 20" HRE Wheels - Opinions on face color

I swapped out my Volk TE37s for a new set of HRE 840Rs. The size is 20x12 and 20x9.5. Since i have extended rear fenders i could fit the 315s in the back without any rubbing issues. I am part owner of a powdercoating company, so skys the limit on what color the spokes can be, i can change it weekly since they are 3 peice wheels, lol. I like the black, but i can go with satin gunmetal, mercury silver, high gloss black with red illusion additive or even match the body color red. Opinions?




BTW: i know the blue lugnuts are dumb, got some new ones in the way. I also am starting to look for the AC bodykit after christmas if anyone has one for sale.

OK first let me say, with complete honesty...... I hate you.

Next gunmetal on red FTW. Black on red looks like a dyslexic night rider.

Might you be available for powder coating for fellow CL members?

I'd say bronze FTW. Bronze on red is a hot combo.

Damn, dude, you like it clean, huh! Those HREs are very nice-looking, if they're the same mesh ones normally in polished (?) I'm thinking about. Believe it or not, I didn't like black wheels a few months ago since they're really popular now but I do like how it looks on the SC, dark/black spokes with polished/chrome lip/centers or just lip. It's really grown on me but I think this look looks very nice with the sleek SC body, really highlights the body. All-black wheels I have never cared for. Gotta have a nice shiny lip!

I like it, like someone else mentioned 20% or lower tint will make it match better.
