Dennison,
Please, let me pshyco-analyze you, If I may.
You KNOW that you had already picked out your color in your head BEFORE ever posting! GO WITH IT!!
Ladies know more about colors than a bunch of us old men. Old men would probably mix ORANGE & PINK FLOWERS IN THE SAME VASE. bILL wILLIAMSON (mEn CaN't eVEn TypE wElL)

Bill Williamson, funny, I had chosen Red because I saw a coupe with red wheels and the lighter color that stripes my car....I just got a rattlecan with the dark green color of the body, painted the wheels and there isnt enough contrast...so, in your psychoanalysis, you are right...I will choose Red for the 5 wheels I just bought, powder coated after sandblasted from Les Schwab dealer for 30 bucks each, and keep the other four in the light yellow that coats them now. PS. My wife chose RED! laughing...now can you psychoanalyze my 8N....ha ha

I am far from a purist and have two driver cars. So I would either vote for the black or the lighter green. The lighter green would "liven" up the green color. If fact, I am considering painting my wheels on my 29 coupe a lighter green.

Dennison,
Check my Minerva post, I bought the wheels already red and almost painted them straw, but the red grew on me! No, No, No, I will NEVER try to pscho-analyze a lady, I still have a permanent BUMP on my noggin.' Bill W. (Oh! I'm sorry, you meant the 8N)
