what colour to paint the wheels????

hey, i have some 18 inch wolfrace wheels on my 200 at the moment starting to flake and bubble a bit so i wanna refurb them in a better colour, but not sure what will look good or bad really.

quite like the bright vibrant colours and i was thinking maybe orange?? like lamborghini orange or something.
anyways, all suggestions welcome, and help appreciated guys

these are the wheels,

and they are on a dark green s14a.

so what does anyone think?

the main prob is the fakage split rim look you need some good solid spokes to get away with painted rims!

Spray them with some rattle cans if you think the value will go up and sell them.

dude you can make any wheels look good just be creative we wolud all love to afford rotors and uber wide rims but make the most of what you got any colours will go but you have to choose what will sute the car personally i think orange is a no no as its just folling the dw trend nothing wront with the dw orrange but maby be different suttle not lairy as if thats your 14 in the sig then you need to match the rims to the car no point going lairy colours on a not so lairy car(not ment in a bad way) maby even go for the old silver and black mask the spokes to a point seperating them to the centre of the wheel do the spokes one colour and the rest another you dont need to spend money to make it look good just be creative
