hi everyone,
just scored a set of hk 14" rims for the ek and am wondering what colour i should paint them? i am going to run them with chrome dress rims, chrome nuts and bullet centres and portawall whitewalls.
here's a pic of the car for colour matching/ contrasting.

cheers, luke.

I kind of like the orange look. This is from one of UTEK's threads.

I might sound boring, and it's been done a few times but I reckon black
It will set off the whitewalls, trim and bullets well in my humble opinion
Or maybe white to tie in with the roof

It wont matter what colour you paint them , they will look heaps better than those hotwires or ovlov rims

i was thinking black just for the simplicity of it, i thought white would detract from the whitewalls.

your not wrong there! i just had to wait for a set of 14" steelies to come up for sale up here
cheers, luke.
P.S: see you all on sunday up at the nats, and if any of oyu are at wintersun i may run into you cruising around in the ek (hopefully not literally )

I wouldn't go white with the flappers, body colour yes. Black maybe but I think the body colour would be best.

Black, Silver or Green.
Depends how much is hidden....

Body colour would be my first choice, black next.

Bright purple or body colour-

Hey luke

I powder coated mine only cost me $25 per rim, limited colours may make the choice easier

Cheers
