Which colour for type-S wheels for black NA1

No good with photoshop, but here are a couple of images saved from the net:

If you can find a good wheel shop I'd suggest shadow chrome ... Inside of the wheels will be gloss black with the fronts bright silver .. If the painter can apply silver at accute enough angle it should only hit the face of the wheels ... This In turn will give the wheel the impression of looking larger ... And they offer a bright finish with low maintenance which against your black will look stunning ...

One side silver, the other gunmetal....best of both worlds.

So that’s; one wheel Red (doh, done that), one wheel Silver, one wheel Gunmetal, the only choice is the the forth wheel.
Do you still have the BBS wheels with the gold centres?

Goldtop, I like the bronze wheels in the first picture. I think that could work well.
Paul, I'm not sure about shadow chrome. I've had a look online, but would like to see some up close.
Duncan, BBS wheels with gold centres? Do you mean the old set of Volks? If so. No, they went on the LBB car I killed.
However, The car I've just bought is coming with 17/18 BBS LM's with gold centres.

Cheers.

I had what was called “shadow” chrome applied to my Stilauto’s about ten years ago and I have to say they did look good.
Hope this image helps.

The bronze on your black NSX as shown by goldtop would look stunning too.

:yes:

Red may be a little OTT for an NSX, gun-metal would definitely be too subtle, so either a bright silver or something gold-y.

Red when used properly is the classiest colour for the NSX, but not so sure on the wheels. The red makes it look like the bat-mobile!

Gunmetal would work best

^ I disagree - gunmetal works well where there is a colour such as Midnight Pearl, or Monte Carlo Blue Pearl - but not when you are dealing with Black, as it just has no contrast.

'Gunmetal' has a wide range of color tones and brightness. This will make the difference. Rays Gunmetal (or is it actually Bronze?) wheels on a black car above looks perfect to me...on Rays CE-28N but we're dealing with an OEM wheel here which has a different shape. If you have seen the OEM wheels in their OEM color it's hard to accept another color (from the perspective of a spectator who knows the NSX). From this perspective RED is far off.
