Calling all blue roadsters - opinions please

[McSmallface]

Just picked up some 15" Rays GR-N 2 piece rims that I'm planning to refurb, question is what colour to paint the centers?

Anyone with a blue roadster that could post a pic of their wheels that are in any other colour than silver or grey.

Im leaning towards painting them either bronze or white but I'm not against painting them a wild colour if I can get an idea of what they look like first.

Many thanks!

First question is are they heavier than stock?

[McSmallface]

Just under 6.2kg a wheel

That's good you may proceed. 😝

Don't forget they are going to have a coat of paint/ powder coat, that will alter the figures!

There is a car for sale on here at the moment known as Superblue, because it's blue and it'a  supercharged, it also has what look to be black OE style wheels. Following is a "for sale" link that includes pictures:

Mine are dark grey, if I was tempted in any other direction for a refurb it would probably be glossy black

Hi Paul, can you send me over a pic of your car with your colour wheels, just like to see what they look like with the blue.  I know I've seen your car but I can't remember - it's my age.   Thanks.

Now why, I ask myself, would Chilli Girl be asking hypotheticalquestions concerning hypotheticalcolour schemes?

You cannot view this attachment.

...imagine that in glossy black.

Not sure if the grey was a Toyota option or mine have been sprayed afterwards though.

Nice pic, thank you Paul.

Standard wheels only come in one colour.
