I'm painting my daisies soon. I had them just sitting around, and now that they're all primed and drying, I'm torn on the color.

Red 91. Has a hardtop. I'm going for a vintage look, ultimately. I won't be able to slam the car because of SCCA rules for the class I'll be in for the next 2 years.

The general style:
4843

I've actually already commissioned a set of magnet roundels. I need to call the guy back to confirm, but it would be very similar (with a black outline.) Too bad this is a NB...

Wheel colors I'm considering:
Gold
White
Baby Blue (bright)

Leaving the center caps off... if someone can photoshop the blue wheels (light, aqua blue) it might help? Maybe I <3 Flippy Headlights can get in here and post some side shots of Amy back when she was red and had gold wheels?

I say definitely not blue.
If it were me I would paint em white.

I'm torn between red/gold and red/white. I'm only going gold because it will stay cleaner, longer.

I still love mine in a gun metal gray...but "other" is not an option on your poll.

If he can somehow re create the pure awesome of your daisies, he should do that.

My first choice would be to make them as un-ricer as possible and just leave them alone. Second choice would be matte black. Third choice would be the aforementioned gunmetal grey. Just my $.02
