Default What wheel color next?

I am quickly getting bored with the color of my wheels along with the rock chips eating at the color so I am looking to get the wheels powder coated. Any suggestions on colors? Here is how it sits now with the Black Sapphire Pearl color, (Dark Blue).

My car was a similar color (Blue Onyx Pearl). Some colors I had on my wheels were gold, white, midori green, j's racing teal, black, and hot pink. Just giving you some ideas.

Teal might work. I was also thinking a deep royal purple.

I'm, more so, tired of the rock chips. There are three decent size chips on them that are really aggravating me. That's one of the reasons I ended up getting the TE37's, because they look great in almost any color.

By the way, your front end turned out very clean. I really like it.

Looks good, I'd rather pay for a front lip though.

Already have the front lip. Actually, I just finished prepping it for paint today. It should be on in the next week or so.

I was thinking of doing something similar to my wheels sometime soon. Maybe teal or white?
