Default I'm powdercoating my rim's, what color looks best?

first off, I know that alot of you are going to hate the idea of these color options on the SC. However, i'm a serious drift nut and i'm building my SC's performance for drift, and it's looks for drift. I like them all but am leaning toward the green, my wife likes the red, my team likes the blue and two random guys at the shop said them grey. What's your opinions?

You can't pull off any of the afters, your car isnt any of those colors. So before looks the best. Personally if i had a white car, i would get white rims. I also like lexus hyper sliver but idk if it would look good on your car.

I actually agree to an extent about the white. Before I painted it my intentions were to go with wht/wht but I think the rims have to many spokes for white.

It would definatly be darker. I think the grey is boring, and I got these rims with intentions of powdercaoting them from the beginning, I just didn't know what color.

Any suggestions not in my choices???

If anything I think either purple, gold or green is pretty wild. lol.

You can always do a hot pink if you want people to stare...

I'm not really diggin' any of the colors to be honest. But the drift scene is all about doing something different and crazy to be unique. If I would go with any of the colors it would be blue imo.

I would leave the grey, but it is for drifitng, so I would say blue. Too many people have green.
