What color to paint my rims?

[Diverse4runner]

My rims are flaking really bad and the center caps are fading. So I was going to sand down the rims and paint them and the center caps black. I was also going to use nail polish to paint the Toyota emblem topaz metallic.

Any other color suggestions would be appreciated. I love the Jade metallic and the Topaz together but it makes rim color choice a lot harder in my opinion.
:hatsoff:

I like the gun metal just not sure how it would look with the Topaz

I vote Satin Black. Or bronze, I love bronze rims but not sure if it would work with your color.

Are your wheels satin or semi-gloss? I'm still debating on either black or gunmetal myself and your wheels look awesome!

I went with gunmetal. It was the closes to break dust color.

The anthracite metallic is my favorite. Can't see brake dust on them too bad either.

Sorry to "thread jack" but do you know who's 4Runner this is, or the tire size/lift specs?

No I found it on google images looking for rim colors.

If you had gold emblems I would say bronze. If you don't like the stock silver I would consider gunmetal/graphite and paint the emblems to match. I don't think black would look right against the IJ/Topaz

 

[Diverse4runner]

Yeah im going to plastidip the chrome pieces gunmetal so that should make it look good with gunmetal color rims.

Thanks guys!

So I went with the graphite. I think it turned out awesome and im still going to get some touch up (Topaz) to paint the Toyota emblems.

Looks great, I went with graphite as well. I wasn't sure what color to recommend with the topaz flares, but you did well.

I'm digging it! I've pretty well decided on graphite or 'gunmetal' Powder-coating... But now to choose which version of it... so many freaking choices/brands to pic from

 

[wheelds]

Hell yeah man looks great! you planning to do emblems too?

 

[paddlenbike]

I had the same dilemma and decided I liked duplicolor graphite the best.

As far as spray paint vs powdercoat, the latter is better in every way except you can't just touch it up at home with a $6 can when you get rock-rash. So I went the spray bomb route.

Yeah Im going to do the emblems next weekend and going to paint the Toyota emblem in the center cap the same color as the flares/trim.
