All of the colors that you described, IMO, would be a little too sudden if they were on the wheels. If you add a graphic to the body, you can echo that with something subtle on the wheels, a pinstripe or something. But you don't need to make that decision now. I'd get that rig together and enjoy driving it that way for a while.
Thanks for your input! Yes, it's been a bit of a roller coaster ride. I was actually thinking it over the past couple days & have decided to do exactly as you suggested. I'm just gonna leave the wheels as-is for now, get my other paint work done, then get it professionally detailed. From there I'll decide what route to go with pinstriping/graphics. Once they're done, I'll come back to the wheels & make that decision. As they say, wheels can make or break the looks of a vehicle, so I don't won't to make a costly mistake.
