Getting my Viper wheels Repainted: Suggestions?

Some of you F-150 guys have some good taste, so lets get some opinions.

Getting my Forge-line Competition wheels repainted this week for my viper after a slight bump to curb and just the paint starting to bubble over the years. I was thinking either going back to the factory F-line competition color or maybe something else close.. I know I don't want solid black.

Suggestions?

Since you don't want black, I'd consider going even a bit lighter than they currently are. I know in person they aren't as dark as they appear in the pictures, but I think something a little more lighter grey would really set off the read and give enough of a contrast so as not to just blend the wheel in with the tire like black and darker colors seem to do.

I would do some script type pin striping like they used to do in the 70's, (ed roth type) like a red and silver on the spokes of the rims and leave them colored as they are now

I would strip all the paint off and have them polished or paint the centers gloss black and polish the outside ring.

Depends... are you going to track the car? And if you do, are those the wheels you will use?

Just decided to get new wheels ;-) Suspension hasn't settled yet and the car is dusty as hell from sitting in the shop.



I'm going to "ghetto touch up" my wheels and just make them race wheels.
