Playing with photoshop trying some different wheel colors, let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas.
the purple was my daughters idea :P
As it stands now:

Top ones and white are all done to death...i'd either go factory colour or go for the purple. It would make your daughter very happy and you'd probably be the only one you'd see with purple wheels. I just had my 18" Monzas redone back to factory grey middles and diamond cut and had a few comments about how good they look...now looking at tyres for the 17" set i bought to go on in the winter!

I was leaning towards white or black, but will admit that they're overdone.
If the car was white, black, or silver more colorful wheels would be an easier choose.
Now my younger daughter wants lime green, and my wife wants turquoise haha. So I may be add a few different option in a bit.

more options my daughter made :D

Anthracite, a bright Silver or gold looks best on Tornado Red imo. Did you have the standard front splitter painted in red or is that an aftermarket one? Looks good.

Thanks, it's a replica Ed30 lip, that I painted with the center section black. Looks OK in the pics, but the color match isn't great. At some point I'll be getting it repainted professionally when I do the sideskirts and rear.

Lime green or blue, 100% :happy2:
Silver, yeah, dull but it's classic, understated and those wheels are nice, so an easy win there.
Gold on a red car, trying to look like a Ferrari.
Black, boring as fook, every damn car has black wheels now and they just look bland.
Purple, well you could I suppose, it is Pride month after all :happy2:
White, yeah, I could live with that. Could you live with the obvious brake dust though? :grin:
-
Have you considered a dark anthracite / shadow chrome(if that’s what it’s called) with some red bbs centre caps?

Im still kind of leaning towards white, but the thought of cleaning them is putting me ofg for sure, at least theyre not bbs lm’s or the like. That would be painfull to deal with.

Thats not a bad idea, im not good enough in photoshop to get a glossy finish on the colors, so i cant really test it.
The red centercaps is a good idea too, i was also considering red wherl bolts, or even filling in the text on the wheels in a different color to make it pop a bit. Not sure if thats overkill though.
Something like this:
