Actually, it's Dupli-color graphite. Looks pretty good - I think. Looks better on red cars...

Hey bro, hows it going! Having the black paint that you do, you could really do anything to the wheels and have it look good with the car.
I love the black wheels w/ polished lips. Silver paint, all the usual Porsche styles, etc... BUT...
Have you ever checked ALSA out? Here is the link to their paints. Click on the various left side links to see all the wild paints they have. The Crazers, and various FX paints are wild! If this is an AutoX set (i will get ya next time...), then having a wild paint job might be neat. Check these out.

Mike, Alpine, that polished/ black look is awesome. I like the blacked out/ graphite look, too. I used to crew on a superbike endurance team, and the owner of the bike painted the PM alloys in black "so they won't clash with the TIRES!" Been a fan of black wheels ever since.

Yea some of those colors on that site are crazy. I am still undecided what color to paint them. I really like that white but I kind of want to try something wild since they will be used for autox.

What would be REALLY wild is the vinyl sheeting that site also offers! You oculd do the WILDEST graphics on your car! HAHAHA. You could make you car look like its made of anything imaginable! Ricey definitely, but intersting options.

There comes a price with being totally wild! One day, i will own a car repainted with Mirachrome paint. That would be soooooo awesome!
Another idea.... why not paint the wheels glossy black but paint just the edges silver. And maybe the inside of the circles. So you get a silver outlined look on all the wheels lines. I have a picture of a lambo's rims done like that and it was cool. I'll have to find it.

Tony, did you find that pic of the lambo? That does sound kind of interesting. I'm now undecided between doing white or some sort of green color that would really stand out.
