MrsNiki Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Has anybody painted the standard 19" Rays black? Fancy doing this but would like to see pics first/gather opinions on it. Not really fancying aftermarket alloys as I love the Rays, it's just with my next round of mods, they'll look better black! Niki Quote

Black can make the wheels look a bit lost in the arches. Edited October 13, 2015 by sipar69 1 Quote

sipar69 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Pic of mine for comparison with black (not sure this shade has a name but it's similar to gun metal) 2 Quote

MrsNiki Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 Love love love the red rims on that last photo!! But anyway, thinking a high gloss/metallic black or an anthracite shade for definite, will match high gloss black side diffusers and front splitter! Cheers for the help/pics 2 Quote
Jetpilot Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Gold on white is very jdm, looks awesome, dont like dark as the photos above, the wheel is lost and looks like its covered in brake dust Quote
MrsNiki Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 I do love dark/black wheels, however after seeing the red I'm very tempted to just pick a bright metallic colour and do that!! The possibilities are endless lol... not good for my brain 1 Quote
Jonnymonno Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Gold on white is very jdm, looks awesome, dont like dark as the photos above, the wheel is lost and looks like its covered in brake dust And my red wheels were covered in brake dust after our 160 mile trip to the Ace, i wasnt gonna scratch them by trying to dry clean them!! You should see them shine when clean 1 Quote
chrislich Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I had black with a glitter flake on my civic type r. Looked great as just looked black then when the sun hit them they would sparkle. Something different 2 Quote
daveallen1999 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I love black alloys on a Z. Red ones are awesome. Quote
ianphampton Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 i) Bought a set of 18" Rays off a forum member, had them refurbed and ii) powder coated anthracite grey with a touch of sparkle, iii) fitted Michelin Pilot Alpine PA4 winter tyres - iv) had them fitted on the car today! 1 Quote
