I was playing around in PS yesterday and tried some different colors and thought the pics may come in handy for some of you considering recoloring your DS1's. Click on any pic for a larger version.

I'm no expert, but thought these may be useful.

White might actually look pretty good on your car. The chop looks more silver than it does white though...

I vote for white.

I've elected to probablly just unload my DS1's in favor of something wider. Hoping I can find something used on here to suit my needs. I just wanted to share the pics I did with BF.

My colors are based closely to the offerings from Duplicolor in their High Performance Wheel Coating line. So cost wouldn't be much really. I've used their products on other cars' wheels with great success in the past.

Thanks - Jon

That's what I've decided to do actually. Now just need to decide if I'll sell the DS-1's or wait until I can buy the wheels I want outright and have these for spares.
