A while back I bent one of my 18s. I ordered a replacement, and the place I ordered from shipped me the wrong colour twice. Long story short - my money was refunded and they let me keep the rim for free, albeit in the wrong colour. Awesome customer service. :)

So here goes my winter project - planning to get the wheels refinished to match. The question is - what colour?

Colour-matched Titanium Grey:

Black:

Experimented with some colours for fun, but I don\'t think I\'d be able to pull it off on a Titanium Grey car. If only it were black or white, then maybe, just maybe.

Leaning towards the black:

black looks nice but at least in the pictures you can barely tell the rims.. and if you\'re spending some bling bling on the rims (or already have) then you might as well show them off.. so i say colour match to TiG

I voted black but I honestly like it color matched Titanium grey.

Either black or grey will be nice b/c you can always use touch-up paint in the event of a chip.

Colour matched looks considerably better IMO.

Colour match it along with the aluminium fuel door and your car will look so clean.

What\'s the purpose of the 18s?
If they\'re for daily drive, I\'d vote for black (hyperblack). But didn\'t you switch to Work 17s for daily/track use? So, if they\'re for showcase, go for red! :hoho

Street - not going to run these on the track anymore.

The Works will either be sold in spring or used on the track.

The black looks sweet with the polished lip.

I guess I\'m the only who likes the teal or the red.

Try something new! Black with the polished lip is too common now.
