what do you think of this combo?

Hey guys, my car is black and i am fed up with black, i should have bought an other color but now it's too late. Tried to sell my car to buy one with an other color but the market here in Canada (Quebec) is really bad and i don't want to give my car as it is in really good working condition.

So i was thinking about repainting it. Yeah i know, it will kill the value but seems like they already are not worth anything so i might as well put it to my taste.

I saw the car of vivid racing a little while ago when they wrapped it for the bullrun. I really like the color scheme as i wanted to paint the car white but i am afraid of the paint job on the roof with the rack support and the sunroof.

So i was thinking about doing the same thing. My wheels are currently gold (as you might have seen from a recent thread) so i asked Ray here on the board to make me a photoshop of this car with my current wheels.

please let me know if this is a combo that fits, i have a hard time saying if i like it or not.

thanks to Ray for the photoshop and thanks Dan for letting me use your pictures , i didn't ask but i figured you wouldn't mind.

here is the car with the photoshop



here is the original car from vivid





here is what my car actually looks like so you guys can see the actual wheels

i think the white with black wheels would look good, but I dont like the all black wheel look.. dont like the volk wheels either.. a black center with a chrome or polished lip would look good or a black techart style wheel

I think the original combination of black body and gold wheels is a classic look and hope to one day do the same to my black beauty!

the while/ black and gold seem too busy IMHO

Not a fan of black wheels. Love your car as is.

Consider wrapping it and not painting it.

I've also seen silver body with gold wheels which looked stunning.
