Bottom left on kk's colour chart gets my vote, not quite 'Verdi Ithaca' (Lambo Lime Green) on a Black Car with Red Calipers would definitely get you noticed.
Or just play it safe with Gloss Black and be boring like me, I can't justify having them repainted but have considered a rim guard on them in that colour just to liven them up a bit :supz: Now wait for the comments?

Why dont go for a Blaze plastidip colour to experiment as it's a temporary solution - if you dont like or had enough just peel it off. I brought 8 cans of the stuff last week.

Cheapest place is on the UK site HERE (http://www.plastidip.co.uk/eStore/index.cfm?type=Home_Solutions/PlastiDip_Blaze&stage=1) if buying more than one can. Although they Sold Out of some of the colours. Plenty of Pink left! :gayfight: Alternatively look on eBay. If you have a spray gun its cheaper to buy the Tins and they should have plenty of colours available in stock too.

Green on Black.
I recognise that Cecil :thumbs: I went to view that car back in 2009 when it had 79 000 miles on the clock, one previous owner & regular OEM finish wheels ;)
It was consequently SOLD to Denis the German Car Clocker :clown: and reapered on eBay & Mobile.de a year later with something like 45 000 miles :banghead:
Anyone knows what's happen to this Cecil ?
