    rally wheel colors on rods, photoshop paint help?

     



    I am going to run 15x8 and 15x7 rally wheels w Police caps on my 1940 chev 2dr, Its getting to be time to clean and powdercoat them and got to wondering what I should do. Body color (semi Gloss Black), GM Argent Silver or a contrasting color- gold , white or red? Kind of a old school look w 70's wheels is what I am after.
    I am not much of a photoshop guy, but I got this far. My car will not be chopped but I do have the tinted glass and Vbutt windshield ready..

    Thanks, keep the votes coming. The grille may or may not be painted red ,but not body color for sure, the monchromatic look is out of favour now.(tho I normally can care less about that if i like something, its not to my liking anyway.) Maybe a polished silver powder coat? I simply cannot afford a rechrome or a billet (billet is not right for this car anyway) the grille is straight and solid. The grille trim (stainless) is bright and straight so there is the contrast against paint if used.
    I tried to work the pic to get a better idea of what i am looking at -But I am not good enough to add the flat hub caps or the slots in the wheels.

    Try coloring the grille the same color as the wheels & see if you like it...
