The Wife is always right and even when she is wrong she is right.  At least that is what mine tells me.  She also says that if I always agree with her then I will always be right too.

 :roflsmiley:  :smilielol:  You know how to survive in this thing called marriage!  :thumbsup:   :roflsmiley:

Rule #1-The wife is always right.

Rule #2-If wife is wrong, please see Rule #1.

Please don't let your wife read this post, you'll NEVER, EVER, EVER hear the end of it  :roflsmiley:

You read my mind.  I'm going to tell her everyone thought she was nuts.  But, since I value her opinion, I'll go ahead and paint them to see how it looks.   :roflsmiley:

I'm starting to think grey/silver might look good also.  The black might be too much, want the spokes to stand out.  :dunno:

I went ahead and painted them gun metal grey.  It's a dark grey that matches the front cailpers.  Pics were taken at dusk so they're not the greatest.

Told the wife you guys said red was factory correct.   :roflsmiley:
She replied, "I never said it wasn't right, it just doesn't look good".

 I'm happy with the results, thanks for all the input.

Looks much better IMO.  I won;t snitch to your wife about telling her the red was correct, LOL!  :poopoke:

Yup, I would either paint them black or hight temp gray. That look is exactly why I will get 4 wheel disc if I ever go bigger than 15x7 rallye wheels on my car.
