RS wheel treatment

[rh96ss]

2013 Cyber Grey Metallic Sonic RS. It came with a darker red pin stripe down the sides.

Trying something on the stock RS Midnight Silver wheels - a red pin stripe on the spokes, tomato red as that is what I have laying around.

Ran out of light to get a pic with the dark red pin stripe vs the wheel. One down, three to go. Cell phone pics.....

Then again, maybe a black or metallic black to go with the granite black headlight and tail light housings and mirror caps. Think the center caps may be granite black too.......??????

Thoughts?

Might just be me but the pics aren't working.

I like it, subtle and cool.

Hmm I just did this last weekend to my cyber gray RS.

I did not see that as I had not looked at your build thread in quite some time. Your car is looking good.

Thanks! Now we have even closer twins lol. I DO dig the red and you did it well.

Didn't mean for my last post to sound snotty..it wasn't.

I'm planning on trying matte black Plastidip with red stripes like yours! Looking good!

Still undecided. Trying some other charcoals and blacks.
From 12 o'clock going clockwise, charcoal metallic, light charcoal, black x 2, ultra charcoal. If/when I do powdercoat the calipers/brackets that may change my mind too. decisions decisions.

I don't think the grays look like enough of a change... The black looks cool

I think you are right, they aren't dark enough to match the center cap and not enough pop. Got a couple more things I want to try. Dark red that should match the pin stripes down the side or metallic black that should be close to the black granite metallic on the mirrors and light bezels. Explore my options before I decide.

The metallic black sounds promising!
