I am going to get my recently bought Enkei's powdercoated but want some opinions on colors. The car is Tarmac Black and I am leaning towards black. Either flat or gloss. What do you guys think?

 

it's your car

ultimately you decide

look through the tarmac black thread

 

what size are the wheels? I think that that will make a difference in the color choice as the darker colors would look better on the smaller sized wheel and lighter, brighter colors on the larger.

 

candy red or blood red with a black lip would be so mean

 

The rpf's have a very small lip, so I would be led to believe that a different colored lip would be kind of pointless. Now, if he had a wheel with a 2+inch lip, I think that it would be a different story. The RPF is a difficult wheel to make look good though. Typically the only ones that I find pleasing are the low offset, 9.5"+ variety in either 17" or 18".

 

Pink. Not hot pink, but a pastel pink.

 

Gold dip

 

17X8's.

 

Orange!! or green ... have some fun with it

 

pink. you rarely see pink rims...

what about purple

 

matte black looks good

 

Imo it just depends on the theme of your car if u do have one? 17x8 isn't so aggressive so i'd keep it plain and simple like gloss black wheels, on red brembo, on a black car. But if you want to be different i'd do gold wheels, on black brembo, on black car. That would be pretty sick and different. Check out my evo(there's a thread i have going"HellaFlush Aggressive Stance") i did gloss black rp's, on gold brembo, on a red car. Hope this helps and good luck on your decisions...

 

oh yeah...

 

As stated above I wouldn't do a crazy color with such a small wheel. I've seen a 5Zigen FN01RC in flat black on a TB Evo and it looked freak'n sweet!

Or get the big wheels and do something wild. I'm personally getting 18x9.5 Rota Grids and powdercoating them a crazy blue.

 

get a theme for your car and go with it
