Hello, Im getting some used tires for my mustang before I can certify it, and before I do, im refurbishing the rims. Im sanding the oxidation off and painting them. I have already bought some silver, gunmetal, and clearcoat paints for them. My plan was to make the rim silver, with gunmetal inlays and then clearcoat them. I think it would look pretty decent until I can find some cheap Cobra replicas. I was wondering about other colour combinations or patterns to put on the rim. if you have any suggestions, please feel free to make them. Heres a link to a picture of the rim, so you can photoshop it if you have some free time. PS; my car is black, so things like bright yellow, or pure black would be out of the question. thanks!

I would go with either the gunmetal grey for the whole rim or just make them a darker shade of silver. Or another option would be to make them gun metal grey with a silver lip.

Gotta be gunmetal spokes with polished rim. Just like mine! (that polished rim does pickle for a past time tho! :cry: )

I think i am going to go silver outer ring, silver spokes, silver inner-ring/hub cap, and gunmetal inbetween all of the 16 spokes... is that what you mean? or even less silver than that?

I recon gunmetal all the spokes, and the inner, and hub cap, then silver the outer rim and the bits inbetween the spokes where they meet the rim.
yeas, sliver lip would be great!
