Help me pick a new wheel finish! (renders inside)

swanlake · 06-21-2016, 11:59 AM

Hey guys,
So my clear coat is looking pretty rough right now, must've gotten some kind of roadside chemical on them. Anyways, I'm going to be refinishing my wheels at some point in the near future but I can't decide on a color. So, now I ask you fellow forum members to help me with the selection process. I'm between 4 options, (1)simple reclear over brushed raw, (2)Dark Tinted Clear over brushed, (3) Brushed Copper, (4) Brushed bronze. In addition to the wheel color I've also rendered blacking out my headlights, swapping angel eyes, and blacking out the grilles and side markers.

Current Brushed Clear Finish

Brushed Dark Tinted Clear

Brushed Copper

Brushed Bronze

There are already tons of DIYs for that on here, not to mention I kinda want to use the OEM angel eyes just with bright white bulbs for the oem look and then do a tint on everything else inside the headlight
