Default GT turbine wheels

Hey, as you guys know my wheels are nasty lookin and have blue paint all over em. Well I got the tires cleaned up, but I figured if I could I'd just grab some silverish spray paint and spray the wheels quick so they look somewaht decent. Any idea what the color would be to have em be somewhat stockish lookin? should I just grab some random silver color and see how it does? I don't want like fake chrome silver, just a kinda flat dull silver like they look stock.

Use aluminum color, and put some clear over it so it will hold up a little

Yeah you can buy aluminum wheel pait at any auto store (pep-boys, autozone, etc.) It is an exact match of the stock wheel color. I did it to my old pony's.

sweet thanks. I got'r lookin pretty good today, washed it, painted all the door trim peices that had primer overspray on em. You're gonna laugh but I painted my tires black to cover all the blue. Hey, I figured if theres paint on there already might as well make it black paint stead of blue. They actually look like brand new tires now, let's see how long that lasts before it chips off. Eventually 'll just actually get some new tires on like a normal person

Once I get them wheels painted up and my one missing body kit peice on it should be lookin decent.

go to your local paint shop and have them mix you up the correct argent color. They should be able to put their paint into a rattle can for you unless you have spray equipment

would it be gay if I painted my turbines white? I have them racin stripes on now, I dunno, thought maybe it might look kinda cool with the wheels white instead of silver.

Sounds like youre the spray paint king. I say paint them white. Itll be different and will look nice if done right.

WHITE!!! Something you dont see often.

Good Choice.

Or you could go the same color as your car
