Wheel Options

Hey guys, new to the forums here! I've been creeping the forums and decided to finally sign up. So I was looking for some opinions on wheel options. I decided that I'm not going to buy new wheels when the 16s that come stock are really not all that bad. So this winter I'm going to get them powder coated and these are my ideas that I thought would go best with red.

Someone had mentioned if they were yellow it looks like ketchup and mustard or McDonald's. I don't want to be known at the McDs Fit guy haha! So any opinions or appreciated! If you have any other color suggestions that'd be great as well. I can do any color imaginable.

Cheers

On red, black and white will probably look the cleanest. But there are lots of colors you could do that would "match" the red. No yellow :P

gold would look good

and im not a huge fan of painted calipers on our cars, since we have rear drums. if you DO paint your calipers, I suggest just doing black.

The more I look at the yellow the more I agree to no haha. I had drum breaks on my last car as well and gave them a paint job and really didn't look too bad! But you are right, since the back is black already, it'd make sense to do the front or just leave them be all together.

Thanks for the reply!

Oh nice! I do like that look. I'm debating either that, white or black. I have yellow highlights (toe hook, valve caps, plate, etc.) so I'm thinking that white might be the best option.

Black or bronze on red. White might be good too.
