remal 85 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 Sorry another wheel question. I have searched but nothing came up with the question I am about to ask. We have a orange 86. Looking at the wheels at Japfest both me and the wife liked the bright colour wheels a few of you had. We don't really want to go with the normal colours such as Silver, Gunmetal gray or Black. I've been looking at what colours will go with a orange 86 but there is not much out their to give us an idea of what may be nice. We both liked the Blue and Red/Orange a few of you had on the White cars but unsure if this would go on our colour car. So just looking for ideas, links if anyone knows of any. My wife suggested White ( yes going to be a bitch to keep clean) cheers for reading Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 It's a difficult one because orange is difficult to contrast with. Crazy wheel colours seem to work best on primary colours with white going with absolutely anything. Okay, have been through all my pics from 86 style at Fuji last year and this is the best I can find: DSC_1375 by Lauren Blighton, on Flickr To be fair this actually works quite well I think. Sorry fro the lack of focus. 3 Keethos, Mark-in-Stoke and remal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tareim 343 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 white probably the best on the ginger that isn't silver or black, a blue might work but you'd need to get the right shade of blue 1 remal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 How about a pale blue - think classic Gulf racing colours. 1 remal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remal 85 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 Light blue would be nice. Not sure about the pink. Maybe Fluorescent pink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 I actually like the gold ones above against the Orange. And I don't like gold wheels normally, but it does suit that colour... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 Yep, seems to be a colour that can work. CE28's maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted May 19, 2015 I've got a light blue on mine (Porsche Riveria Blue) which you may have seen at Japfest... I'm not sure whether it would work with the ginger though Gulf was orange and blue so it could work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remal 85 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 I've still been looking but i'm surprised how difficult it is to find any pics of the orange with anything other than Silver, Gunmetal etc.. colours I think this looks good . Just been looking on google images 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just been looking on google images That looks good because it's a big fat low Rocket bunny!! may not look so good in 17" or 18", unless you really fill the arches at say 9" width.
