Default Project "VOLK Gt-V" $20

UPDATE ON PAGE 5, WHEELS WERE PAINTED !


Like many times over, I turn to CL for opinions, thoughts, criticism, and photoshop help.
I hate making you guys read a paragraph so I'll let the pics speak for themselves

I recently got these wheels, though I like the black I want something a little "louder"
I want you CL to help me decide what color I should go with.

Posting pics you might find will really help.










These last two pics are for my photoshop crew, if these aren't good enough let me know and I will send you something else. I have $20 I will paypal to the person who helps me reach a decision, ...see below







Here is a color reference guide

I need to have a decision by thursday, thanks guys

Orange, purple and White would be my suggestions. SGM is a tough match to get the wheels to pop without making the car look gaudy

Its hard to match up a color with your car, but here are a couple options, white, purple, gold or green.

Hoovey I agree, thats why I need opinions, last night I told my guy purple and he looked at me a little weird, you saying purple makes me feel a little better

heres a website for some color references, maybe photoshop some of these onto the car.

I know you want it to pop, but me personally when I see a lexus with nice wheels, I would want class.
Have you looked into Hyper Silver or Hyper black? Or a sparkling sterling silver would be sick.
And always gold!
These will be powder coated correct?

definitely not looking for neon colors

no, powder coating only hurts the integrity of the aluminum (well that's what I've read anyway), they will be sandblasted, primered, sanded and sprayed.

SGM and bronze goes together very well IMO.

To help push that point, check out this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ew-wheels.html
