'06 WW RA stock wheels powdercoated/painted
I finally have a couple days to dedicate to my RA. I am installing RRM Black Tail lights, and I want to powdercoat/paint my stock wheels as well, but i dont know what color to do! I was thinking of black or gunmetal w/a red rim, or possibly w/o, or just re-painting them stock color. Has anybody done these colors? If so can you please post some pics?
Here is my RA - let me know what color you think I should/shouldn't do.
Thanks!

well I think I'm going to go w/Gunmetal Wheels w/Red rims - I went up to AutoZone and the Gunmetal Duplicolor Wheel Paint is bad A! I'm going to paint my Mitsu diamonds red as well. I think this color combination will look awesome and go with my red pads as well. I plan on doing this on thursday, so I wil post pics after I'm done!
