Re: wheel re spray....

Without knowing your vehicle colour, I opt for Black paint spray.

Re: wheel re spray....

Silver is nice and clean and original looking 

Black is more for the rugged look im my opion but as Rakesh said its a lot to do with the colour of the car 

Hope this Helps

Re: wheel re spray....

Ned,

looking forward to seeing a picture of them on the G. Black does look cool or 'sick' if you want the teenager talk as my son would say.
