BBS RM color opinions

[D-BOMB]

Hey all,
So I have been throwing around the idea of getting my RM's powder coated once the GTi is parked for winter.
I have always dug the super bright contrasting colors that some guys do, and reading the the recent PVW coverage of Worthersee Treffen and seeing the crazy color combos those guys are doing over there makes me want to do it that much more.

My dilema is that tornado red is a tricky color to pull off somthing like this, so far my top picks are...

-Baby blue
-Darker blue
-Lite purple
-Bright Orange

I just want a change from the silver/black you always see with these wheels, and I figure if it looks really terrible I can get them done in silver again.
P.s the lip's will remain polished.

Here are some pics of the car for referance...If someone with some photoshop skills could do a little demo that would be rad!











Thanks and look forward to the opinions!

There is no "Leave them alone damn it" option.

Change the center caps
I believe there are nice red ones

T-red really doesn't lend itself to bright colored wheels. If it was me, i'd be going white centers with gold bolts, or colormatched t-red. Even a bronze/gold center would look good, as would leaving them silver.

Im thinking the red caps with a purple barrel, I think its dark enough not to stand out to much but still look a bit different.

Re: BBS RM color opinions

Ive never really liked the body color match.

Re: BBS RM color opinions

I'm not really a fan of body matched with T-red either.

What about grey centers...aviator or dolphin grey maybe?

Re: BBS RM color opinions

I'd like to see Aviator Grey photoshopped in, that might work. With chrome spiked bolts!
