Help with wheel color... =)

This is what the wheels look like now...

Forum image

i ended up taking the bags and wheels off for now to fig out what I really wanted to do with the van.

And now I have decided to put the wheels back on (looks ugly stock) and I wanted to get everyones feedback on what color I should make the wheels....

Thanks!

Either intense purple, or a kind of limey green, like the Do-Luck 350Z, still with black face. Maybe gloss black though.

there isn't anything wrong with it, buts just a little to common for my taste.

I am looking for the "wow" effect but still manage to keep the car tasteful. The orange lip was a little to sporty ( I guess...well so I have been told).

But I am thinking about the purple lip...something along the Lambo Diablo purple or something along those lines....

This might sound stupid but if you get the lips done metallic pearl white and leave the center black you'll really be different. i have seen only 1 4 door accord wagon like that and it just popped back in my head. the white was just like the lexus pearl on the is250 it really stuck out! but keeping clean will be a bi-otch: good luck i really like your van

Ok, that makes sense... Not as common over here, and I thought it it would suit the chrome window trim

In that case purple might be a good idea. Can someone photoshop that to show what it would look like?

keep the same colors, but reverse the center and lip. black lip/ orange center.
OR keep the centers the same and use black chrome for the lips! thatd be sick.

Hmmm, seeing that i think green looks better... For some reason the purple looks a bit racey. Grey looks good, but i doubt it will have the inyerface look he was after
