Plasti-dipped my Wheels... Tell Me What You Think!!

Hey guys,

This weekend I decided to finally do something about my stock wheels. Ever since I put on the Do-luck style trunk I've felt like the stock wheels didn't really go with the rest of the car. I wish I had the money for new wheels but having kids really makes you think twice about spending money like that. So I did the next best thing... I Plasti Dipped them!!

I just put the wheels on today but I'm not sure how I feel about the matte black so I want to know what you guys think. Should I...

A.) Keep the wheels matte black
B.) Make them gloss black
C.) Redip them Gunmetal Grey
D.) Redip them a different color

Here's a before:


And after:

I voted to keep them matte black. When I had my BBY I painted mine matte black, loved the look! Gunmetal wouldn't look bad either.

Gimme those headlights!!

Nice car but I'm not a fan of black wheels in general. Black just seems to make too many wheels look the same. I would go with bright silver. Make them stand out not dull them down. Just my .02

Other colors would look a little off, if not off, it'll look funny.

You bought the most aerodynamic hood and took the rear wing off. Whatever the color of your wheels, the car looks like you missed the point.
