Hey guys, I'm ordering some Varrstoen wheels next week and they come polished but i'm wanting to paint them, i'm thinking either f-zero blue or takata green..but im open to other ideas. What do you guys think?

The wheels:



F-Zero Blue



Takata Green



or Black or another color? I'm open to ideas...just can't decide!

x2 Black chrome or a teal? a teal pearl would be nice. It appears you like bold colors. Perhaps even a peach, that would "kinda" tie in the creme interior.

My old SC's wheels were polished and gold I just want to do something different and with the feel of this car and the scheme i'm wanting to pull off I want the wheels to pop a bit more and be different.
