Liz, I think it looks great as is. I do believe Duplicolor has gunmetal wheel paint. Seen it at Autozone/Advance Auto.

I'd go with a darker gunmetal but the only gunmetal Duplicolor makes in wheel paint is pretty much identical to the car color.


lol, yeah I have it already, I painted my wiper cowl with it so it would blend into the hood. If it was a bit darker I think it would work, thats why Im thinking about mixing it with the black. Or even painting the rims black and then lightly misting the gunmetal over it. That might work.

go with a silver like brushed aluminum. it will make your rims stick out instead of blend in.

Well, the only silver Duplicolor has is the silver I painted my dash with. I like it, but I dunno about it for the rims. It looks too ordinary to me, I mean Ive had silver rims before and Ive always wanted darker.

edit, got this pic here from Duplicolor's website:



Not sure if thats the black or graphite, but I like it...

TC, check this out. Like I know you don't have this kind of cash... but consider these Scooby Rex rims. they're called Works i think by prodrive. in my opinion, best rims i've ever seen. they also come in bronze, gunmetal, and silver. silver ones would look hot on your car.

everyone should check this rim out. i LOVE this one and it would look great on your car TC. forget throwing money at your current rims. i'm sorry again, but those 15's look stocker than stock. your car is hooked up to the maximum on the outside, something is missing and that's these:




I just think that if you have a job, sweat it off for a month and get these. if you don't, get a summer job and sweat it off. it'll be worth it. You already threw so much into it already, why not just finish it all off with some nice rims?
you mentioned that duplicolor, they have one like ias well but the spokes are more interior on this one:
