i have a set of 18" Motegi MR7's that i'm almost finished sanding down. i am wondering what color would look nice with my celica. i have a factory silver 99 GT....i've thought about black but you see so many black wheels these days....i was kinda thinking about bronze....but i dont know...somebody throw out some different options


EDIT- i've just looked at some duplicolor wheel paint online and i am really interested in 2 of their paints. first one is the Graphite color..i think that would look nice laying agains the lighter silver....and the 2nd is their color changing paint. i have never seen a set of wheels like that...i dont know though..it seems like it would be awesome but i need some opinions.

I just finished painting my Stock GTS rims with the duplicolor paint. I used a graphite colour too, probably the same one you are looking at, here's what it looks like. I know they aren't MR7's but it will somewhat give you an idea..




I really like this color, it really changed the look of my car. I can add before pics too if you want.

Graphite looks good I think but those are becoming quite common too...

Would you consider white? Here's a thread w/some pix

i believe that if you put >>>>lime green>>>> it would look ugly, but defiantly different

you can never go wrong with white. I got white rims on my black celica and i have never been happier.

yeah i've thought about white, they are really an eye catcher, and to the lime green comment, thanks for all your help with that. haha....what do you guys think about bronze? more of a goldish bronze ya know? but i'm really thinking about that white now...those were def sharp lookin..anymore idea's?

Either white or brinze would go really good with a silver celica. Its your call man, but I don't think you can go wrong with either or those.

Over here in Euro land all the Vee Dub nuts are doing the fluorescent look on wheels atm. I've even seen a few Evo's sporting bright green, orange, pink, blue wheels you name the colour its happening over here atm. Not to my liking though.

i think some gold or bright bronze wheels look pretty cool, look at manphibian's pic of his painted 7th gen gt-s wheels.....

or you can go for a gold look

That's the same color I'm going to use when powder coating my GTS wheels and my '97 GSXR 750's wheels.

Start a poll. I personally like all black wheels if the car is silver. I know black wheels are 1 too many here though, but they look good on silver imo.

LOL i'm a vw nut over here! i got like 4 vw beetles sitting outside my house right now! hahaha, but mine arent that ugly, except for the one that is gold with an orange fender that one is an eye catcher!

Bronze or gold. That red celi with the darker bronze has a good shade, similar to MaskedMan's wheels.

It will go well with the silver.

IMO
