So I know it's too early to be thinking about winter but I was thinking of refinishing (likely sand blasting and powdercoating) my current winter wheels. I'd like some opinions on which colour to choose. As pictured, you can see bubbling around the valve, other wheels have more pronounced bubbling and some flaking on the underside. The tires are also due to be replaced next winter so now is a good time.

Car is alpine white and the wheels are currently gunmetal. Choices are silver, gunmetal, black, dark bronze, ???

Thanks

Lighter colors always show less. My 2¢ on the subject if not having them look like they need cleaning all the time is an issue (think black).

If you're of the same mind, I would recommend silver.

Thanks for the reply. They are winters so I'm not super concerned about close up appearances. I'll try to get a nice thick coating so the salt doesn't get under the paint and break it up. After thinking about it for a while, I was leaning towards silver as well.

I like the silver. The lighter the color, the less dirt will be visible.
