What made you go with the blue on the rims? Kind of an "out there" choice. Not knocking it...actually I find it ballsy and risky.

Wanted some contrast, found it to be bland, plus if I can back them up with a little power I thought I'd be safe. Thanks!

Admittedly they weren't the color I had went in counting on, a little fail on my part and on my powdercoater. I sent examples, but I didn't have a example sprayed of the color he suggested. Volk Racing makes a magnesium blue, well these are sapphire! Oh well, wasn't matching anything regardless .
