Paint them yourself, save you some money and get a much broader range of colors.

 

[#1stangFAN]

well no matter what way i do it what color would you perfer?

 

[blbrchnk]

Its your car, do whatever you think looks good. I have a vista blue stang so I went with the blue G2 paint. Matches very well.

Black for black. Red for red. My opinion.

I have a black 06 GT. I painted mine red. They look awesome, the touch of color is sweet.
With tinted windows and polished mags it is pretty B.A. in my opinion.

This is my 3rd set of wheels for this car, I went from the stock wheels to the silver torques, then I went to 18" wheels in black. I think the black against the red works pretty good. Most of the exterior trim on my car is black.

I was on the fence with the black wheels, but deep dwn I've always been a silver guy. Chad's GT has the wheels I'd probably go for http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3208069 . Wheels aren't gunna happen for a long time since a new house purchace and a Sgt.Maj for a wife puts the kibosh of everything to do with mustang

Those are nice looking wheels, but on my car I would go with that style in Black for a better contrast against the car.

Sometimes I think there are just too many choices out there...

haha yea i did, it would have been a pretty epic fail if i didnt, i was at the auto parts store and saw the caliper paint right next to the covers and thought id have more fun and satisfaction putting the paint on

Ok, I just wondered. I only used one coat on mine and they have done great for two years.

What color/type of wheels do you have?

Pix please...

With my wheels i went a little different route then the majority of people on here, i have 20" zenetti Lucre chrome wheels, there not as open as a lot of wheels that clearly show the red calipers but i think they look awesome
