Color Matching Lip On Wheel

[Danaldson]

Ok so I'm looking do some colour matching on the golf, and i cannot find any information on my rims. the rims are called ikon overtake 33's. i was wondering if anyone knew how to find the colour code or exact colour of the little yellow lip, without having to grab those little paper swatches and finding the closest yellow. i have tried emailing a seller of the rims and have not gotten a reply back yet.

pretty sure you can go to a paint store who does paint matches and they have a tool that scans paint and gives you a code, i did it to find a paint pen and worked good

Email the company but most likely you are going to have to get it color matched and put in a spray can.

would that mean i have to take the whole wheel into the paint store? and i have tried to find the company's website but i couldn't find it. this was the closest i could find but it does not list my wheel on the website

Hmm interesting thought hahaha but no I don't think so. I just deccided I want to properly color match the yellow I already have; emblems/roof rack and maybe even rubstrips in the future. Although I have never seen anyone do such a bold move haha

Honestly Danny, I wouldnt color match the rubstrips. Sometimes less is more, and in this case it really shows. You dont wanna go too far with the color and ruin the overall appearance of the car. Keep it simple and clean man

yeah i didn't really mean for my car to come out the way it did with all the black and yellow. And i took that song off my iPod so it never comes on while I'm driving haha. and pat definitely a big emphasis on the maybe and future. but does anyone have an idea so that i don't have to take my whole rim into a paint store?

Re: Color Matching Lip On Wheel

I agree with Pat...no rubs. I think the the amount of accents you have now is just right!
