Hi Guys,
My rims are at the machinist's getting ball seats cut. I have them stripped and primed and I'm wondering what color to paint them. The car is yellow and will have big white "meatballs" with my AX number. Minilites always look good in silver, but I might want something different. I'm leaning towards black because it looks so "business". I'm just curious what other people think. Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) |

I vote for silver. As you said it is the classic Minilite color. It also makes the wheel diameter appear to be greater than if black is used. I think black looks good on larger diameter wheels, like Joe's 914 RS with 17" wheels.
I have black center with polished rim 15" Revolutions and sometimes wish I had silver instead. |
