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?
Just under 6.2kg a wheel

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

...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. ;D

Standard wheels only come in one colour.
I have standard 5 spokes resprayed in bronze. In this thread here somewhere:
