Opinions on new wheels
I put these on my truck. Should I paint the painted areas with AZ Beige or leave as is. The only real area unpainted are the little triangles at the tip of the spokes. The silver just seems off given the color of the truck.
I'm afraid that might be too much AZ Beige.
I have no idea about photoshop to try and color them. I may tape the wheel, paint the entire thing, then cut out the triangles. It would at least give me an idea.
Also attached a picture of original wheels. Definitely not a fan of RWL tires, but I could just turn them around.
Thanks

Leave as is is my vote.

If you were to paint, are you going to do the correct paint prep, etc or do you plan to get a can on sale at the hardware store and spray it after you tape off a few other areas?

I bought a quart of Az Beige, I have to repaint the bumpers and grill. Grill is faded an bumpers are chipped. I'll sand, prime, paint and then clear the entire wheel.
I'd never use rattle can on wheels and bumpers.

Painted at home wheels usually look like wheels painted at home. haha Doesn't sound true with what you are planning though.

I've got a "paint booth". Dedicated used small shipping container. Not super high end results, but can be on par with what a dealership can do. At least from my various experiences with several.
I make furniture, so I spray a lot.

Majority rule! I'm leaving well enough alone and just enjoy them the way they are. I really like the wheels. Not too big on plain street tires, but hey, they are new and they were free!
