    Re: Wheel Repair

    I'm still game for seeing color matched, but i never like a set of color matched wheels typically.
    Silver may be "boring" but i honestly don't think that they would be too boring on these wheels in particular. I think they would suit the car and wouldn't draw too much attention which is kinda what i like.

      the dark grey/color match may make the rims too much like so many other rims out there on old Honda's.



      How about some other color that may be in the flake of your paint already

        Polishlikekuji.jpg might as well polish the entire wheel if you're going with silver sides or glass blasted sides but is a pain to keep clean

          Thanks for the pshops Bob. Neither of them are doing it for me like i originally anticipated.
          I don't really want to do polished if i have another option, aka silver paint and machine finished faces with clearcoat over the whole thing. It would be easier for me to keep em clean and up to par without having to polish the lips every few weeks.

          I'll look into a slightly darker silver with heavy flakes in it, hopefully it will bring enough contrast to the machine finished faces of the spokes and wheel and still be subtle enough for my liking.

          Thanks everybody!

            Ya silver/polished will look great with that wheel design. TJ's old s4 wheels with the satin silver and polished lips looked amazing.
