Repainting The Wheels

i got these wheels for 200 bucks, with tires. two have nasty bends and every one is curbed worse than i've ever seen before. since im going to be straightening them and re-painting them i wanted to know what color you guys think would look the best.
and yeah dont worry, i realize that you can fit your head inside my wheel wells, some means of lowering are coming soon.



i'm thinking about re-doing them in the same color, but i'm also considering either white or bronze/brown. what do you think?

those are some nice lookin rims
although i'm not sure i would have bought them if they got curbed real bad. for the price its gonna cost to repair them, on top of the $200 you paid. im sure you could have gotten some different rims from someone here on the forums.
hell i only paid $500 for my rims/tires, and they were only a few months old.


oh yeh, and keep that color, it looks sweet

thanks! most of the scratches are superficial, i'm just going to sand the wheels down and hit em with some wheel paint. they dont need to be perfect.
