Here's an image I shot of my VT the other night and I'm using it play around with some Plasti-Dip colors. Definitely going with one of the BLAZE colors on a white base coat. I was originally set on orange but there's a white GTI in town with orange wheels and I want to be different. Now I'm set on neon green but a buddy says the yellow would look amazing on an Elite White VT. Emblems are also getting dipped black. Thoughts?

Original and very rough Photoshop with my eventual drop and color change:

I'm really feeling the green but BLAZE Yellow is pretty awesome too. Ugh I'm so torn

I assume you are asking for opinions?

I say neither.

Maybe a matte black subtle finish, but bright colors on wheela to me are, at least in my opinion "ricey". In my area, the only people who color their wheels bright colors like those are the riced out civics/neons. But hey, just my .02, do what makes YOU happy.

in his defense he did say plastidip .. so he can just peel it off when he gets tired of it .

Im not attacking him, im just giving him my opinion. I just think those neon colored wheels look clownish for lack of a better word. Different strokes for different folks!

Is this a joke?

Did I say something funny? I'm actually not a fan of the stock wheels. So for $25 I can change the color of them to something a little more crazy before I get a new set of wheels. And that's the point of Plasti-Dip, if I get tired of it I just remove it.

I work at a major Porsche dealer down in FL and we have all the colors at my disposal.

The pictures were funny. I'm not making fun I just didn't know people did this kind of thing...

Then my recommendation is getting different rims.

if you go with one of those colors for the wheels, try using the plastidip on the lining right above the exhaust. I forget who but someone did their black car in red on that spot and it looked awesome

I'm doing mine blaze yellow with the black star.... my car is blue so I feel like the Contrast is gonna look awesome but for your white I would recommend blaze orange for reference see this threat it might help you. http://www.velosterturbo.org/forum/veloster-turbo-photos-videos/1631-photochop-fun.html
Also VeeTee's white VT has some sweet orange rims and it looks great with the white.

If they make the blaze option in blue I think that would look good too. From the two colors you picked I would go with green.

Cool, thanks for the suggestions. Like I said earlier the orange was my first choice but since there's another white/orange car in town I wanted to be a bit different, hence the green. Our local scene isn't too big here. A buddy from work says the BLAZE Blue will look amazing. I may just buy a can of each and do one wheel at a time.

And the color change is temporary while I'm waiting to pick up a set of gold/bronze wheels.

This is exactly what we are doing to finalize our colour choice, we have matte grey so trying to find something that will POP
