Repaint my gold VS-XX

Zürcher · 10-23-2008, 02:18 PM

i'm thinking about re-painting my gold vs-xx but what colour should i re-paint my wheels with.

Black is too "boring" IMO, white isn't my cup of tea either but today as i was on the work wheels internet page i saw this colour

What do you guys think it would look like if i painted the wheel center this colour instead of gold?

Maybe someone could PS a pic!?

Mandeep · 10-23-2008, 02:25 PM

KkSc · 10-24-2008, 02:53 AM

leave it gold man!

ZJP · 10-24-2008, 07:24 AM

Matte gunmetal?

E92AXM · 10-24-2008, 08:07 AM

Your car loosk perfect as is. And gold is definitely the most unique , the silver is kinda of bland..

I love Work wheels. Why don't more people buy them here?

Craig@SupremePower · 10-24-2008, 12:32 PM

No I meant you should have them refinished in matte gunmetal. It would look very nice in my opinion.

i don't like if the contrast between wheel center and car colour is too glaring.

this is how the Work-Wheels colour would look like on white, i think the contrast is great. not too dark but still noticeable

well the wheel i posted above has a darker finish than the Work Emotion you just posted, and it looks phenomenal on a white car...perhaps a few more pictures might change your mind:

i know she's a bit dirty, but its not my ride, so i don't care...

Zürcher · 10-24-2008, 01:37 PM

sure it looks great (like every other colour on VS-XX wheels would) but i'd prefer to do something a little diffrent than just a black wheel on a white car. i know it's not only black but it's a dark coloured wheel on a white car... nothing new, you know?

true...to each his own. you ultimately have to do what's going to make you happy. but since you're looking for honest opinions (and i feel like i'd be selling you short if i wasn't honest), i don't think that medium shade of gray on the Work Emotion you posted is going to flatter your ride much, if at all...if feel its a bit bland.

also, its hard to suggest a better wheel color when your color combo is already so perfect (yeah i know, i know...white on gold is played out too...but its still perfect).
