Default SX Wheel Insert Pictures

I can't decide what I want to do with my wheel inserts, so can we dedicate a thread with the various colors of inserts on the different colors of cars so we all have a place to get an idea for choices?

Electric Blue -- Gloss Black, Matte Black, Gunmetal/Titanium, match the blue, stock, completely remove, I have no idea...

You should try gloss black, I think that'd look pretty good.

if you want to see what they look like gloss black, just take out the inserts, and there you go, gloss black!

I personally don't like the no inserts look. Don't like how you can see the holes, it looks a little cheap.

I agree, but he will get an idea of what it looks like Gloss Black.

Just finished painting the inserts on a co-worker's car last night, and I'll be installing them shortly this afternoon. Her Koup is white so we went with white inserts. She originally requested pink... *sigh*\

While her inserts were out the past few days I could get an idea of what my white sedan will look like with black rims - that's a project for another 'weekend off'.

speaking of the holes after taking out the inserts-
gloss black plastic plugs perhaps?
depending on the pattern of the holes- perhaps body colored gloss plugs for the hole?

just tossing out ideas.....

I am leaning towards gloss. I'm still considering matte or a dark gun metal because of these rims, or maybe the rims themselves instead

This is a photoshop I did when I was considering a dark gray / gunmetal colour.
