So I have this set of Konig Zero-Ins I got cheap to put autocross tires on for Golfball. They're a bit obnoxious for my taste but the price of trading an old mostly worthless spare motor I didn't have a use for was right. I'm thinking making them one color would calm them down a bit. Any suggestions for a color other than black? The street wheels are a set of bronze Heliums and I'm pretty happy with that look but I'm not sure how well that would work on the Zero-Ins.
Are they for competition only? If so then I'd go with some bright color like cone orange or bright aqua or something.
My first thought was bronze as well but I don't know the shape of that wheel, so if you're not convinced, I'm not either.
Here's a close up shot of one of them.
Bronze or grey are probably the obvious options. The aqua is a solid one I hadn't considered. I like that thought more than I expected to.
DupliColor has a nice metallic bronze for wheels that comes out satin, I'd try that. A nice royal blue would also be pretty good.
Aluminum is the color I'd choose.
Hot pink, royal blue, forest green, metallic brown
One of each.
Candy coat red.

Bright blue. Autocross wheels should make your heart skip a beat.
I've painted a bunch of wheels with Almond appliance epoxy. Looks great on steelies, may work on fency wheels too.
Like white, but more interesting.
Some sort of bright aqua color. Or blood red. Painted on a full moon with actual blood. Pretty sure you'll win every event after that.
Pick a normal color from Glo-Net.com and marvel at it in the dark.
#4, #5, #6, and #7 are my choices.
In reply to Appleseed :
Oh that'll be great if I actually show up to a night-cross.
get some plastidip wheel paint and redo them. If you don't like it, peel it off and get a different colour. Heck, change them every track day!
Pro tip: Never peel it off. Just keep adding layers when you change colors. When you do finally go to peel it, the layers will be super thick and come off in sheets as intended. People get into trouble by cheaping out and stopping when it "looks good." 2-3 coats are not enough.
I used to paint one side a different colors from the other so it was dead easy to remember to put the directional wheels and tires on the correct side.
But honestly paint them black or whatever color your brake dust is.
I'd rattle can them some highlighter blue/yellow/green.............or honestly, since the are just AutoX wheels, I probably wouldn't put any effort into them past occasionally knocking off the brake dust.
Safety orange or highlighter yellow/green
Rustoleum Hammered silver/grey or whatever they call it.
I think i'd go for a pastel green. Like this:
I dig some kind of bright green. I mean, the bronze does real good. but, if I were going for flashy...
green has a pop to it
I'll second (third? Fourth?) the "go wild" ideas. Bright red could be fun. But that pastel BBS up there is hawt too. Shrugging emoji rally car dude made some splatter paint wheels for his XR4Ti that were pretty neat too.

This struck me as comical, and accurate.
To stay on track I'll throw a vote in for make them bright and fun. That glow in the dark paint seems pretty cool.
I really like Rust-Oleum Black Night Metallic. It's also one of the easiest to shoot spray paints I've ever used.
