in the process of repainting my GSR fat fives (GSR hammers)...i am def. painting the inner part like a metallic purple...kinda like this... http://www.3x3x3cube.com/images/v/20111 ... 690780.jpg ...but im stuck on what color to paint the face of the rim...i originally wanted black..but im not sure how it will look with the purple...now im thinking white but i know its hard to keep clean...also thought of a dark grey....or maybe you guys can come up with some other colors to go with the purple

keep in mind my car is blue..i want it all to kinda flow...nothing TOO crazy :thumb:

i know i know!!...ive been asking around for oppinions everywhere...and i think im leaning more towards the grey...it will still look nice and also easier to keep clean...here is a pic of the color grey im talking about...this is also kinda where i got the color combo from :thumb: hehe http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash ... 7384_n.jpg

i liked the white ALOT aswell..but i know its to hard to keep up on cleaning...and on top of that ive seen that color combo before....i ended up goin with the grey...should be a bit easier to keep clean and a color combo ive never seen on rims before...here are some pics..i still have a clear coat to do which will probably be on sunday
