What color should wagon wheels be?

Featured Replies

I have an 84 Turbo wagon, and It has the spoked wheels. What color should I paint them? Bright white? or kinda an off white? or was body colored an option?

 

Thanks

Erik

I prefer gloss white unless you want to color match em to the car. Either way looks pretty good.

 

Black can look ok, but only on some colored cars.

rusty white?

 

Know what the krylon code for that is?

 

Thanks

Erik

after you paint them, you should buy some chrome trim rings, it will make the wheels look ten times better, plus it hides flaws in the paint.

Black.

Black.

Black.

Matte black.

 

Then paint the car camouflage.

Shadow Grass camo.

 

 

Black is good. Or white. And who wants those crome rings? They just get knocked off from rocks and stuff.

well thats because you get the junk ones, i get the ones where you have to wrestle them on for like 5 mins a piece:lol: i put them on all my wagon wheels and love the looks and performance increase they make:grin: never had even 1 fall off while wheeling

I like the way my '84 wagon looks with black wheels and tan/gold body.

Black doesn't show the brake dust either.

I've always wanted to see one done up like a JohnDeere though.

Bright green body with school-bus yellow wheels and bumpers!

Nothing runs like a Subaru!

Gona go for gloss white I think....I have the chrome rings/ center caps for it...I'll polish them and put em on!

 

 

Thanks

Erik

or go with a carbon fiber color. My friend had an '89 GL sedan with wagon wheels and he painted them this carbon fiber color. It looked sweet. He also did the hood that color since it came off of another vehicle. His sedan was about the same color as your wagon.

ummm i guess that your choice...

i like semi-gloss black......both the Hornet and H2 wheels are semi gloss black..wagon wheels....how about Shocking pink like Austin's o'l Brat...LOL

Just like the o'l HORNET BLACK and Then Camo Green..yup...

Honda driver=Spend tons of money for exhaust stuff....(they spend about $400)

 

Subaru owner??-Cut the muffler off, empty out the cat, weld on a strait pipe and call it good...and it still sounds better...(You spend about $10 for the exhaust piping)...lol

I say black... its got my vote... then the beauty rings and caps, and it'll look nice....

As for Jeff... I wanna rematch.... the station wagon wants to 4Lo your arse!
