      opinions on color of plastidip to use

      Good ol mother nature is gonna be dropping snow before to long and plow truck will be dropping salt. I wanna protect my rims over winter without much maintenance so I've decided to dip them. I'm just lookin for ideas on colors. I'd prefer not use black. I want to spray them with something that's gonna stand out. I've been on dipyourcar.com and I've seen all the different colors. So now I want opinions on which one to use. Keep in mind that my car is red. I've narrowed it down to intense teal, pure purple, lime green and anthracite grey.

      The Anthracite Grey is the only color in your selection that will look "completely normal". So if you're looking to stand out, then you have to go with one of the wilder colors. Red is tough because none of those colors naturally compliment red. White would probably stand out, but would probably be a PITA to keep clean. I'd probably take Lime Green, just because it's the most obnoxious of the selection in my opinion.

      I picked up a set of wheels for the Subaru this summer that were plastidipped white and they looked pretty sharp. Wasn't difficult to keep clean either. However everything's dirty in winter anyway, so fudge it.

      Teal all the way!!! I have a friend that has a red STI and he dipped his rims teal for the long drive to H2O. It was supposed to be temporary just for the drive down but he fell In love with the look and so did everyone else.
