f150 wheel

Tell me what you think would look best. I have a set of factory 18" f150 wheels with the tan on them for my winter wheels. I am going to paint the tan as my new truck has no tan but what do you think would look best red or silver? I have a damaged wheel from the tire shop to try but what color should I start with?

I would go with silver. I think the red would be too stand-out. Or maybe a dark grey with red or black hubs?

First choice would be red highlights. Next would be black.

Red would look sweet. It's just enough but not overdone. Please post pics when you complete this!

That looks surprisingly good. I am not a fan of any paint on a wheel at all, but that looks sweet!

Thanks, I have decided to do them in red.

Bluejay.....I should have listen to you and my brother in the first place and done one of my good wheels then I would have only 3 left to do instead of 4, but I do have until oct or nov to do them.
