Default Changing rim color on SGM ISF

Sup fellow forum members. I have a sgm isf with silver linea corse lc818 wheels and i'm kind of bored of it so I was wondering if you anyone can help photoshop or recommend new wheel colors for me. I was thinking something unique, such as blue, all black, or purple haha, not sure what i want, something different and nice i guess. input please!

That electric blue is definitely an eye catcher. First off, have you painted your calipers? I think the color of the calipers shouldn't be clashing with the wheels, just to give it some added detail. Maybe yellow Brembos instead of the black from the factory (?). For SGM, I could see the LCs in a bright purple. I know it's out there and far from ordinary, but it sure gives the wheels some nice pop. A high gloss gold would be another option I'd consider just because I hear everyone rave over the SGM metallic flakes and gold certainly would enhance that as well.

Best of luck and I look forward to seeing what you go with!

I have an SGM ISF too and I don't have all-blue wheels, but rather just the lip and the inner barrel (hard to see in the first pic) are done blue and then faces have a carbon fiber finish. Like this:
