i have HX wheels on my black coupe and there painted white and im kinda tired of that. so i have a spare HX wheel that i like to mess around with and came up with a few options that i might do

1. all black

2. black and yellow

Image

Image

3. or yellow with a black lip

Image

it took me about an hour to do all three so the paint job isnt the best, but its just my test wheel so lay off me, and im not to fond of that yellow, but its just what i had laying around, let me know what you think

yellow on teal makes me [smilie=puke.gif]
but that's just me. Also the flat black lip on the 14" HX rims is going to make them look more like 12" rims once the tires are mounted.

#1 looks the best to me.

All Bronze or Silver would look good on teal too. And would be easy to paint.

If you wanted to spend a lot of time on them, you could do the lip in polished.
