The title says it all. Most people seem to go black or gunmetal when they paint their wheels. I'm trying to envision something different on the IS300 and would like to make the stock wheels pop a bit more. I'm considering painting them white, but have never seen an IS300 with stockers painted white. I've seen a few cars with gold or bronze painted wheels to. Also curious on other colors too (but nothing too crazy, only if it looks good).

Yeah I searched here and on my.IS and went through that thread a while back, no white stockers in there unfortunately. With the lines of the stock wheels I'm 50/50 on whether it would look good or not, and tend to lean towards it not looking good, but I hope someone proves me wrong.

It would depend on the color of your car but how I picture it comes out a bit rice.

Dark bronze on a GGP would look nice.

^^Or the right bronze on IBP would look pretty smooth too. I'm just a fan of graphite on this car, looks smooth.
