Default Debating on AP2V1 Wheel Paint Color

I'm debating on painting my AP2V1 wheels. I have a set of AP1 wheels with winter tires on there now, so before I put the AP2 wheels back on I wanted to paint them.

I'm thinking about either army green (flat), bronze, gun metal, black (flat) Also was originally looking at color matching the interior in Red but I'm not sure that may look too ricey.

I have a 04 Silverstone with Red/Black interior.

Here's the idea I had for army green on a 350z

Please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Leave them silver.

If you have the itch to paint something then do the AP1 wheels instead.

I personally like the idea of going red to match your interior. But I'm also a fan of color and tend not to care whether others like it or not lol.

I'll be painting my AP2V1's gold to match my tan interior this spring after I decide on what tires to get.

Definitely not army green!

I'm not a fan of colored wheels in general, and particularly on a silver car, the pics above just solidified that for me lol. It just screams im 18 and want attention but its misplaced, because im not old enough to know what looks good yet. Might as well sticker bomb the car wile your at it. Stock like silver finish or polished aluminum is timeless like the car design and therefore looks the best. But if I had to pick one of the selections, id lean to bronze for a statement without looking tacky.

Wow that hurts haha to each their own. I know it's not everyone's taste but I like it. I'm not a stanced kid either. The car functions great and a matter of fact just took the nitrous off the car. Btw 26 not 18 ugh. I have my ap2v1s I street drive and those are being powdercoated gunmetal.

Sorry, colors are a subjective and personal thing. Its why threads like this are silly. If someone cant figure out what they like and have to post a thread to find out, then opinions are going to fly. I gave mine.

Its good you like what you like. I question that a bit though if you have changed your wheel color a half dozen times. Maybe you just need to have fun and get it out of your system, and will eventually figure out silver was the best all along

Gunmetal I think fit it best. If my a2v1s weren't beat up from previous owner I would have left them silver.

Find a mint set of AP2V1's and keep them silver. If you're still got the itch of painting them, send them to me.
