It's hard to find affordable "not typical Mustang wheels" anywhere so screw buying new wheels!! I've always loved the way my Konigs set my car apart and ive been told they clear the calipers in this brake kit I'm lusting after. Winning!!! So, I recently called a local shop to inquire about having the lips re-polished and I'm considering having them repainted while I'm at it. I'm torn between a few colors so what do you guys think?

Feel free to photochop in a different color!!

Here's a couple I chopped for you. I'd leave them alone but if you change them I would go with a darker gray.

Red or bronze-goldish.

When I get some Cobra Rs for race tires, I'm getting them painted bright annoying ass red. Lol

I thought about this a bit and I think a bronze-goldish would clash with the red seats.

I disagree, I've always thought gold and red go together very well. It might be too many colors on the car though, I can see that. But if you could find ways to tie them together in a classy manor. Maybe like red calipers on the outside and small gold touches inside (be hard not to go overboard admittedly). I think so long as you kept it classy it could be pulled off very very well and look a bit more custom and tailored.

Hmm, I see your point. Idk, perhaps larius could hook us up with that picture!

Larius, would you be so kind as to create two more pics sir? One with black wheels and another with Goldish/bronze.

bronze/gold gives you the tuner look, but it's my fave out of all of those so far.

I believe I might have asked already but was awhile ago and before I stopped smoking, but what kind of wheels and style are those on your car? Sorry to get off topic. BTW Red with Lip and Dark Grey with Lip look the best so far.
