    The wheels want to be white or ivory.

    How much are you asking for the car, and do you have some more pics?

    TIA

    Black would look great. Eggshell would look better and a very dark ass solid non metallic green would be very fitting.

    Be creative there is like a million and 1 colors out there. Do something way off the wall. if you dont like it repaint em.

    ive had this same dilema. my truck is black primed and when i got it it had red wheels on it.then i went and got a wine colored int the clashed with the red so i went with a tan steelie .this may not be politcally correct but i had a post back in sept about the same thing.i thought that red was bit over done and was looking for options.did some research with old mags and ooks and found that red was now used on all cars . so i went with a tan that matched the wine then i will use the wine and tanfor pinstripes later

    The "Light Mocha Tan" is a very rich straw color.

    I wanted to get away from red, when I had my sedan, so I went with Minneapolis Moline Gold. You can find the stuff at tractor supply places, in spray cans, and it is actually more of an orange color. I no longer own the vehicle, so I will give you permission to use the color, if you wish.

    What's wrong with them the way they are? A little cleaner wax and some elbow grease would work for me. They look pretty decent to me. Lots of guys go to a gread deal of trouble to replicate that used but not abused look.

    Those wheels are from Alex Olevera's web site. Here's Alex striping my wheels in my driveway.
