...is to paint the stock ones. Many of you have painted your wheels and they look sweet I love the color of Shinka 8 Wheels and decided to photoshop my wheels with some different colors. I tried a bronze color. Havn't really been a fan of Bronze but I'll post it up. I then was mixing colors around and got this nice gray, charoal, smoke type color.
What do you guys think?

Bronze

Silver

Bronze on blue is a bit too Subaru-ish for me.

I'd stay either with the silver, or go black, since that would go with the graphics on the car. Don't really like either of the other two options.

Second option...or see how it looks with either black or white.

Ok so here is the scoop. I think I'm going go go with the darker....I guess you could call it....Steel gray. I found this pic while google searching for a blue 8 to start making some different graphics...Test out my photoshop skillz.....since I'm not good enough to erase my grahics and use my car. Well the picture is a 2009...Don't like the wheels much but I love the color.

Somebody help me pick a color close to that.

I think a flat black would look good, since the graphics on your car are black and silver. Anything other than those two colors, and you're just adding another different color to the car. Just my opinion.

Man I hate this. I guess I'm gonna have to search really hard to find the Advan I like at a good price. Lets say like around $200 a wheel....Not $529/wheel.

Or just wait till I change my graphics.

Wait it out till you can afford the wheels you want. Don't settle. :7d3bf976:

I think that's what I'm gonna do. If anything I may just redo the stock wheels in silver since they are in not so good shape. Gotta keep my eyes open for any deals on the Advan I like. If I did have 2k there is no way I'd spend it on wheels though.
