Blue wheels...
I have a navy blue metalic Vette and would like to see what blue wheels would look like on the car. I have EVO Weld wheels.
I'm thinking about stripping off the chrome and having a chrome silver paint followed by blue translucent powder coat. I don't know if it would look sharp or cheapen the look of the car.
It would help if I saw pictures of corvettes with different shades of blue wheels.
Any out there ?

Get a pic of your car and put out the request for a photo-chop (probably better in the OT section too).

I can help you. My car is navy metallic and I did the blue hydrocarbon on the wheels. $200 each plus shipping. I can do any color.

Thanks.
Do you have a wide angle shot of the car with the blue wheels ?
Does blue wheel photo have a chrome or painted hub rotor ?

There is a miata where I live that is blue and it has black wheels with blue lips on the rim. The blue on the wheel does not match the blue on the car and it looks terrible. Just make sure the blues match up like in the car above. That looks great!!!!
