Well guys I have another set of these wheels and they needed some curb rash repairs and while at it I was trying to come up with colors that closely match the OEM paint but then I thought to myself what If I change them around so I jumped off to MSPaint and threw a few sketches.... sadly I didnt like any of them they just look awkward to me for some reason... but maybe you guys can give me some suggestions...
The way they are now...

I know they sort of look like junk to me so I might just leave them the way they are just single color but I need to play around with some ideas...

think the original is best :y

I agree!
The black striped ones have a Monza look to them.
-
Agreed, Keep them the original colour :y
-
And thats what I intended to do but had to see what it will look like if I throw in a slightly darker color for some of the surfaces.
Well what do you guys think of this, paint the inner edges (Spoke Cutouts) of the wheel a darker color and leave the flat part of it the OEM silver...
Like this...

In the UK you can get two-tone wheels which are fitted as standard to the MV6 models, they are painted anthricite in the inner's

I much prefer your wheels as they are on the Cat, and the sport decals really suit them too
-
original for me m8 ;)
-
Another vote for the originals
-
Leave well alone .. Originals easily the best .. :)
-
Originals look tidy, no need to tart around with them.
-
Agree, original. All the rest make it look like a crash test car!
-
keep original..

Another vote for the original finish. The striped look doesn't suit them. Body color, which in your case they already are, or polished/chromed are the only options I'd consider. Even then, that's a lot of shiny due to the massive spokes.

Maybe a compromise like the Fuchs wheels on classic Porsches. A little paint, a little polish.

I think that the 3rd or 4th picture down looks the best :y, but that's me all over I've just got to be different ;D ;D
-
Original looks best :y
-
Well original they shall remain... Thanks for the suggestions and opinions guys.
I was looking into doing to surface in a slighltly darker silver color probalby close to that of the original and then the vertical surfaces in a color that is slighlty lighter, but due to the shape and light reflections you shouldnot be able to tell the difference but I have seen it done before and it looks good.. offsets the spokes well..

what about diamond cuttingthe face will look like a cd surface and shine really well a mate of mine had them done on a series 1 rs turbo !! :y

Ignore him! keep to the originals. imho :)
